Material Base Unit of Measure, Order Unit and Issue Unit

If a material base unit of measure is wrongly entered it is difficult to change that when stock exists for that material.

Various alternatives can be:

1) Transfer the stock to make it zero, change the base UOM, make the stock available

2) Block that material and create a new material (TCode MM02, on the "Basic data view" change "x-plant matl status" to "01")

3) Treat various unit of measures as follows:

(i) Create an alternative unit of measure (which the base unit was supposed to be), TCode MM02, on the "Basic data view" click on "Unit of measure" from the toolbar. Create the required unit line with appropriate conversion rate with the base unit.
(ii) Change the "Order unit" on the "Purchasing view" to this alternative unit.
(iii) And change the "Issue unit" on the "Plant/Storage" view to this alternative unit.
(iv) These changes are plant specific so carryout the changes for all the plants.
(v) When entering order, or issuing materials change the default base unit to this alternative unit to reflect the intended quantity.
