BatchSpecMaterialUoM

The Proportion/Product Unit object combines the proportion and
product unit. Proportion and product units are special kinds of the alternative units of measure.

The Proportion unit is a unit of measure in which you can enter proportions of a material base quantity.

The Product unit is a unit of measure in which you can enter
quantities of a material that are alternative to the base unit of measure.

Structure

Proportion units and product units are defined for a material.

Whereas the conversion ratio for alternative units of measure is set in
the base unit of measure in the material, for the proportion unit and the product unit, you define

Integration

Proportion and product units for materials to that are to be handled in batches can be used in all processes along the
supply chain.

As long as the batch is not yet recognized, the system uses the planned
conversion ratio from the material when converting to the base quantity. As soon as the batch is recognized, the system uses the
actual conversion ratio from the batch.

Notes

==================================================

This method is

not

in a production system!

==================================================

The method is called in the system in which the originals of the object Batch-Specific Material Units of Measure are located.

The method includes the following functions:

This method only triggers replication of batch-specific units of
measure, The actual replication is carried out with a time-delay, if the method is called in the receiving system via the IDOC interface This decoupling is ensured via the distribution functions that are made available using ApplicationLink Enabling (ALE) technology.

Notes

Dependencies Between Parameters

The batch-specific material units of measure are identified either using the selection parameters Material andUoM Usage or using the import parameter Request Changes. In particular, you
should refer to the documentation on import parameter Request Changes.

The receiving systems are either passed on using the table parameter Recipients or determined using the ALE distribution model.

If you request changes from Engineering Change Management,
(import parameter Request Changes), the recipients must be determined using the ALE distribution model.

Customizing

Distribution (ALE)

You make the global settings for distributing data between application systems in Customizing, at Distribution (ALE).

You must add method SaveReplicaMultiple to object names/interface BatchSpecMaterialUoM in your distribution model for the distribution of batch-specific material units of measure. Thedata filtering for recipient determination depends on message type Material (MATMAS). You make the
settings for the distribution model in Customizing at Maintain Distribution Model.

Change pointers

The prerequisite for change requests from Engineering Change Managementis the update of change pointers for batch-specific material units of
measure. You have to execute the following Customizing activities for this:

Note:

You cannot activate any change pointer for batch-specific material units of measure in this release

This method calls method SaveReplicaMultiple. For more information on this method, see the method documentation.

Performance

If you do not narrow down the selection of batch-specific materialunits of measure using either change requests from Engineering Change
Management or the selection parameters Material or UoMUsage, allmaterials and units of measure that exist in the current system arepassed on to the receiving systems. This can lead to long runtimes and a heavy system load.

The selection is independent of whether batch-specific units of measure
are used for the materials or not, because batch-specific units of measure must be deleted in the receiving system, if necessary.

Messages

Messages are returned in the parameter return. The parameterdocumentation shows the return codes and their meanings.

Notes

==================================================

This method is

not

in a production system!

==================================================

You use this method to replicate batch-specific material units of measure to the target system.

The method includes the following functions:

Change

Create

Delete

Only the attributes relevant for batch-specific units of measure are
replicated with this method. You can find these attributes in the documentation on the table parameter Batch-SpecificUnits of Measure.
All other attributes of an alternative unit of measure, such as weightand volume information, must be supplied using material master functions.

The prerequisites for replicating batch-specific material units of measure are:

Before you execute this method, you must replicate the material master data and the material classification with the class type 'Batch'.

Notes

Dependencies between parameters and functions

For the functions Change batch-specific units of measure, Create batch-specific units of measure and Change alternative units of measure to batch-specific units of measure, it
is sufficient to maintain the import table Batch-Specific Units of Measure. The function that is executed for the unit ofmeasure to be maintained depends on whether the unit of measure for the material:

The functions Delete batch-specific units of measure and Change batch-specific units of measure to alternative units of measure
are supported in two different ways. With these functions, you must note the dependencies between the following import parameters:

For more information, refer to the documentation on the import parameter Complete Replication.

Change-relevant attributes

You should note that you must select change-relevant attributes for all import parameters in the relevant update information
.

Buffering

This method works with buffering. You cannot execute any other changing
methods on the material processed in this method in the same Logical Unit of Work (LUW) That means that a database commit to update the data is necessary beforehand. For more information, refer to the transaction model for BAPI development
in the BAPI Programming Guidelines in the SAP Library.

Dependencies on other methods

This method is called by the method Replicate. If you want toreplicate batch-specific material units of measure from an R/3 System, you should use the method Replicate
to trigger the replication. For more information on this method, refer to the method documentation.
