Assigning Additional EANs to a Unit of Measure

  1. Access a material master record in Create or Change mode.
  2. On a user department screen, choose Extras ® Additional EANs.

    3. The Additional EANs screen appears.

  3. Enter the unit of measure to which you want to assign additional EANs. You can enter only units of measure already specified on the Units of Measure screen.
  4. You now have the following options:

    5. – If EANs are assigned internally, specify an EAN category, but not an EAN. The system determines the EAN automatically when you choose Enter.

    – If EANs are assigned externally, specify an EAN, but not an EAN category. The system determines the EAN category automatically when you choose Enter.

    For each unit of measure, you must flag one EAN as the main EAN. When you exit the Additional EANs screen, this EAN is copied to the Units of Measure screen and, if it is the EAN for the base unit of measure, also to the Basic Data screen.

  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have assigned as many EANs as required.
  6. Access the Units of Measure screen. Indicator A is now set, indicating that EANs exist in addition to the main one displayed here.

    7. If you overwrite the EAN on the Units of Measure screen or on the Basic Data screen by entering another EAN, the EAN you enter is copied to the Additional EANs screen as the main EAN.

    If, on the Units of Measure screen, you delete the EAN for a unit of measure for which additional EANs exist, a dialog box appears in which you must designate one of the additional EANs as the main EAN.

  7. Save your data.
