Solution 8: Batch-Specific Material Units of Measure
Task:
Settings for active ingredient management
Settings for active ingredient managementMaterial Fruit premix T-RJ1## contains the proportion units (active ingredients) Fruit Content and Acid Content.
As an alternative to the base unit of measure, you also want to use batch-specific material units of measure in your different applications.
1. Check whether suitable units of measure have been defined. What are the descriptions for the following units of measure?
LF = _________________________________
LA = _________________________________
a) Tools → Customizing → IMG → Execute Project / SAP Reference IMG / SAP Customizing Implementation Guide → General Settings → SAP Netweaver → Check Units of Measure/
Units of Measure (without dimensions) LF = L fruit
LA = L Acid
2. Make sure that the use of batch-specific units of measure is activated!
a) (…) → SAP Customizing Implementation Guide → Logistics - General
→ Batch Management → Batch-Specific Material Units of Measure → Activate Batch-Specific Units of Measure
3. To which unit of measure are the batch-specific units of measurement LF and LA referenced?
a) (…) → SAP Customizing Implementation Guide → Logistics - General → Batch Management → Batch-Specific Material Units of Measure → Edit Batch-Specific Units of Measure
Both batch-specific units of measure have the Liter as their reference unit of measure.
4. Take a look at the definition of the characteristic unit of measure % for proportion calculation.

Note that in the case of percentage proportion calculation the units of measure are defined independent of the batch-specific units of measure and base units of measure.
Afterwards, take a look at, for example, the definition of the characteristic unit of measure LIL. What are the batch-specific units of measure and the base units of measure from which it is calculated?
LIL = __________________________________________
a) (…) → SAP Customizing Implementation Guide → Logistics - General
→ Batch Management → Batch-Specific Material Units of Measure → Calculate Proportional Factors → Define Percentage Calculation (…) SAP Customizing Implementation Guide → Logistics - General
→ Batch Management → Batch-Specific Material Units of Measure → Calculate Proportional Factors → Define Calculation of Proportion Quantity from Base Quantity
LIL = LI1 Liter Active ingredient 1/ L Liter
5. Display the material master record of the material Fruit Premix T-RJ1##. Which data is maintained in the classification view?
Characteristic value: Characteristic value:
Material: Class: Fruit content Acid content
T-RJ1##
a) SAP Easy Access menu: Logistics → Production -Process → Master Data
→ Material Master → Material → Display → Display Current Classification view
Characteristic value: Characteristic value:
Material: Class: Fruit content Acid content
T-RJ1## 023_20 80 – 100 % 3 – 5 %

6. Check whether the application view S is maintained in the basic data and in the characteristics in the classes found under 5-4-5. Display the class from the material master of the raw material T-RJ1##.
a) Material master T-RJ1##
Classification view
Position the cursor on the class entry Environment → Display Master Data Basic data and Characteristics tab pages
Both the class and the characteristics are maintained for application view S.
7. What are the characteristic names that belong to the characteristic descriptions fruit content and acid content?
Fruit content = ____________________________
Acid content = ____________________________
a) In the class master record:
Characteristics tab page Fruit content = M800 Acid content = M900
8. Check whether the characteristics mentioned in 7-4-7 have the following settings:
The status is released.
The data type is numeric.
The value assignment is a single value and no negative values are allowed.
Which unit of measure is maintained for these two characteristics?
____________________
a) In the class master record:
Characteristics tab page Double-click the characteristic.
Characteristics M800 and M900 are both released, numeric, and have a single value. Negative values are not allowed. For both characteristics, the unit of measure % (percent) is maintained.

9. Navigate to the Additional Data in the material master of material T-RJ1##.
Navigate to the Proportion/Product Unit view.
With reference to which batch characteristic was a conversion of the base unit of measure to the proportion unit defined? ____________________
To which proportion unit is the base unit of measure converted?
___________________
Which planned value is used for conversion as long as no concrete batch is known? ____________________
Finally, navigate to the Units of Measure view in the additional data.
a) With reference to which batch characteristic was a conversion of the base unit of measure to the proportion unit defined?
M800 Fruit Content
To which proportion unit is the base unit of measure converted?
LF Liter Fruit
Which planned value is used for conversion as long as no concrete batch is known?
85 %
10. a) In change mode, navigate to the Additional Data of your material T-RJ1##.
Navigate to the Proportion/Product Unit view.
Use the additional characteristic M900 acid content to also define the use of the proportion unit LA.
The planned value is to be 3 %.
Save your settings.
b) Post the goods receipts for several batches for material T-RJ1## to warehouse 0002 of plant 1100.
Carry out the different analyses regarding the batch characteristics Fruit Content and Acid Content.
c) Display the batch stocks in the stock overview for the units of measure L, LF and LA.
Compare stock quantities with the corresponding characteristic values.
