Sap Sale Module: Re: [sap-log-sd] Changing unit of issue

MM system uses the base unit of measure for calculation purposes, the
WM application requires that a conversion be defined for any
alternative units of measure that have been assigned to a material.

When you create a new material in the system, for example, if you
designate "piece" as the base unit of measure and "box" as an
alternative unit of measure, the system will display a conversion
window which asks you to define how many pieces are contained in a
box.

WM Unit of Measure:
The WM unit of measure (WM UoM) is an alternative unit which can be
defined in the Warehouse Management view of the material master
record.

Other Alternative Units of Measure:
Alternative units of measure can also be defined to identify packages
or lager containers for smaller units of measure such as cartons,
boxes, bottles, barrels, pallets (storage unit types) and so on.

The base unit of material is found on the Basic 1 view for field
MARA-MEINS. However, you can create multiple UOM depending on
function, ie, purchasing has its own UOM as does inventory management
(the unit of issue field is in Plant data storage 1 view ), as does
the ability to create alternate unit of measure.

Cheers,
Pat

Subject: Changing unit of issue

Hi MT,

If I understand your query, when you change the unit of issue in MM02 (as explained in my above post) you can see the required information, in system, in both units of measure (i.e. in PAC and in PC).

E.g. MMBE, one can see stock in PAC and in PC

If I am not answering your question, then give an example pertaining to your question.
