In some industry sectors (for example, diary/meat, 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.
The weights can vary from piece to piece, either due to biological variations or because of weight loss during storage.
This variability should not be lost by using fixed conversion factors, because this would mean that many business
processes would be based on incorrect values.
In SAP such process can be mapped by two ways
Create two no dimensions units LBI and CS/LB. LBI will represent as Batch Specific Unit of measurement which will
assigned to its original unit of measurement i.e. LB (Pounds). CS/LB is a no dimension unit which will be used to
define fraction between cases (CS) and Pounds (LB).
Click on Unit of measurement to create units LBI and CS/LB. Please refer the screen below.

Maintain the details of LBI and CS/LB as per the above screen.

Batch-specific material units of measure are used when the conversion ratio for the unit of measure to the base unit
may vary for different batches of a material.
In this case, Base unit of measure is CS (Case) and valuation unit is LBI (Pounds). Planned conversion ratio between
these units is defined in the material master, but actual conversion ratio varies batch to batch which may depend on
the environmental factors.
To control these situations in SAP, we need to activate Batch-Specific material units of measure.
Click on New Entries in the screen above to define batch specific UOM.
Define the Batch Specific UOM and linked it with actual UOM. Here LBI is batch specific UOM which is linked to actual
weight unit (dimension Mass) LB.
Define the ratio of the proportion unit to the base unit. This ratio is needed to convert base units to

Click on New Entries in the screen above to define calculation of proportion/product quantity from base quantity.
As per screen above, we have linked batch specific UOM with base unit of measurement.
Here we have defined CS and LBI calculation for no dimension unit CS/LB.

(LB)
Ration (CS/LB) = 0.26 when only two decimal allowed
Ration (CS/LB) = 0.25641 when five decimal allowed
From the calculation above, its clear that we would get more accurate result when we go for higher decimal points.
So as per the screen below, we have changed error message category to blank.

Maintain Dependency
Dependency will be used to calculate the fraction between number of cases and actual catch weight. Call SAP
transaction CU01 to create dependency.

See the screen above for characteristics assignments. We must put Organizational Area equal to S against the
characteristics which will be used for CS/LB conversion.
Select the additional data information in the material master and click on the proportion/prod unit tab to maintain
planned conversion factor.

Same way it can be used for production/process order good receipts, posting of goods receipt is possible to post
quantity in two different unit of measure EA and KG.
Stock Overview
You can view the stock in both the unit of measurement i.e; in Base unit of measure and Parallel unit of measure.

Delivery
In the sales order the price is calculated based on sold number of Kilo, number of Each is charged. The actual weight
is assumed to be entered into the Net weight field in the delivery document.

Hi Ajit,
Thanks for the pointing, I have correct the same. Yes we need to assign dependency to
characteristic.

Hi Rupesh.
Nice you spent your time sharing knowledge.
Just for more info, IS-CWM is quite common in Poultry Farming & meat production, some years ago I
participate in a proyect and discover the complex requirements of this industry and the way this IS
help to face their requirements.

Thanks for sharing with us...btw,Where do u assign the dependency?

Hi Monst Yang,
You can assign dependency to characteristic. In CT04 (Characteristic) there is an object
dependency Assignment.-- Extras > Object Dependencies > Assignment and Editor.

Hi Rupesh,
Its really very tough for me to understand the batch specific UoM and its functionality.But this
documents is really very so much user friendly for fresher as well as for experienced one to
understand the concept in a very well behave manner.
Thanks a lot for sharing it.Hats Off to you.

Hi Rupesh,
informative document. CWM will help to manage variable conversion factor between base & parallel
UoM for a batch / HU, how will it be able to address weight loss process ?e.g. if I have CWM material
for which I have posted GR (1 PAL = 350 kg = EUR 500). Over the period, the weight of this pallet is
reduced to 325 Kg due to evaporation losses. So from quantitative perspective I have to reduce qty of
this pallet but valuation should not change i.e. I now need 1 PAL = 325 KG = EUR 500). How will I
manage this qty variation ? Of course material is Valuated, so physical Inv will result in accounting
entry as well
