  • 1.  Alternative UOM's

    Posted 10-30-2025 05:47

    I am trying to write and run a script in SAP for a list of Alternative UOM's, in the material master this is in Additional Data, Units of Measure.

    But when I go to run the script I am faced with the below error.  Can anyone offer any support?

    Field (SMEINH-MEINH Alternative Unit of Measure) (2) SAPLMGMM 4300 is not an input field

    Many Thanks.

    Hi Stuart

    Can you please share your script and any information on what you've done to debug this? What do you need to do with alt UOM - i.e. are you adding or updating or deleting or just extracting to get which are defined?

    In general you need to use GUI scripting or a BAPI.

    This has been posted a few times in the community

    https://community.precisely.com/discussion/mass-add-of-alternate-unit-of-measure-for-retail-carhartt

    There are some examples in the SAP Module Templates community:

    BAPI https://community.precisely.com/viewdocument/add-or-update-alternate-units-of-me?CommunityKey=e1f0c200-ca7e-46e7-b5c7-01855e5120c7&tab=librarydocuments   - this adds or updates 

    Transaction to add alt UOM: https://community.precisely.com/viewdocument/add-alternate-units-of-measure-1?CommunityKey=e1f0c200-ca7e-46e7-b5c7-01855e5120c7&tab=librarydocuments

    Hope the examples help.

    Best Regards,

    Sigrid

    Hi Stuart, I use the BAPI example for Add and Change, work well for me. I have attached my script too.
