Batch Specific Units of Measure Step by Step Configuration For Steel Industry
Batch Specific Units of Measure Step by Step Configuration For Steel Industry
industry
Introduction:
In some industry sectors (for example, the pharmaceutical, chemical, steel, or paper industry sectors), the composition
or attributes of products vary to some degree. Therefore, you cannot use a fixed conversion factor to convert quantities
of these products into various units of measure. Instead, each batch has to be given an individual conversion factor.
This component allows you to handle materials like these throughout the entire logistics chain.
2. Edit batch specific material unit of measurement
IMG --> Logistics -General -->Batch management -->Batch specific material unit of measurement -->Edit batch specific
material unit of measure
3. Product quantities conversion: Define calculation of base quantity from product quantity
IMG --> Logistics -General --> Batch management --> Batch specific material unit of measurement -->product quantity
conversion --> Define calculation of base qty from product qty
In our scenario we know the number of pieces(product qty) ,from which we are determining the base quantites .If it is
other way ,you have to use another option " define calculation of product qty from base qty"
Use the weight per piece as the characteristic for this batch. Use
kilogram per piece as the unit of measure for this characteristic. (Base
unit is kilogram, product unit is piece).
Activities
1. Enter the unit of measurement that should be used in the
characteristic, for example, kilogram per piece.
2. Enter the base unit and the product unit that you want to use for
the calculation, for example kilogram and piece.
Master data setup
4. create material with batch management active and variable order unit active
As we are using different order unit and OPU ,we have to activate this setup
6. Create class with organization area -S
In order to appear at material master level ,this class and the corresponding characteristics has to be assigned with
organisation area - S
7. Assign class to material master - MM02
8. Maintain conversion factor at material master level
MM02 ---> additional data --> Proportion/product unit
Unit of measure usage :
Alternative unit of measure
A Proportion unit, B Product unit
Select product unit .Characteristics with org area- S appears here
Transactional data:
Conversion factor at material master level 1 PC = 100 KG
Conversion factor at batch level 1 PC = 103 KG
1. Create Purchase order with order unit as PC and order price unit as KG
System uses conversion factor material master as batch not yet created.
4. Stock overview
UOM:KG
UOM:PC
