Query- Variable Alternate Unit

Friends,
I searched sdn and googled also.
I am unable to find my solution. Pls help.
My requirement is to find out Prod. Qty in alternate Unit of measure for different materials each have got different alternate unit .
For eg. If a material is having alternate units as CAP, and EA. I need Prod. Qty in Both this alternate Units.
For Fixed alternate unit it works fine, but for variable(more than one) I donno how to do.
Kindly help.
Regards,
Guru

Thanks for ur time Amer,
Is it possible in Query level? I had loaded the alt UOM in Unit of Measure for Char in Business Explorer tab of 0material.
And Sap has created the automatic DSO, with all numerator, denominator etc..
I know the procedure for creating a variable screen for alt UOM. and it allows me only to select one alternate unit. I donno how to do for multiple alt unit.
Can you pls explain a bit more elaborate. I am just 1 month old to BI.
Thanks,
Guru

Variable for Alternate Unit of Measure

Hello Experts
I have implemented the soultion for reporting data in Alternate Unit of measure using the "How to..." guide provided at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b7b2aa90-0201-0010-a480-a755eeb82b6f
This solution involves creating a variable which prompts the user to enter the required unit of measure.
However I have a situation where I would like to create variable which is not input-ready and has a fixed value assigned to it without prompting the user. Moreover, I cannot modify the already existing input-ready variable as it is used in other Queries.
Does this involves creating a new user exit or modifying the existing user exit. If yes then can you please tell me how this can be done.
Thanks
Rishi

Hi Rishi,
You can follow any one the below procedure for solve your issue.
1. You can change the variable by removing the check box "Ready to input". But you mentioned that you used that variable in other queries also. So, I am not suggesting this.
2. You create a new variable same as the existing variable but with out selecting "Ready to Input" check box. Now when the user run the query, that variable will not be seen to the user. Now, we will see the customer exit, you assign new variable value to existing variable, before that you have to write a condition for checking the query name. If you are running the query which have the new variable then assign the variable value to old variable. This will solve your question.
I hope you understood this procedure. If you have any doubts let me know.

Alternate units of measure

Hi,
In order to implement the Alternate units of measure -
I need to implement user exit and activate enhancement RSR0001. In the description below is listed what to implement of includes. In the function group XRSR - I have added the code to the includes ZXRSRTOP and ZXRSRU01. These are both a part of the group. But the last one ZXRSRF01 is not in the include folder. I tried to create an include by right click on the include folder and choose create - I named it ZXRSRF01 and copied the code into it. But it is still not to be found in the XRSR function group and when I check the program the get_form call raises and error in the code of the include ZXRSRU01. How to get the include in the function group or is there another solution?

Display of Alternate Unit of Measure

Hi there,
We try to display alternate unit of measure in BEx by implementing the following Howto Doc:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sapportals.km.docs/documents/a1-8-4/how to report data in alternate units of measure
It works fine as long as 0MATERIAL is included in the rows of the report.
In any other case (e.g. 0MATERIAL is a free characteristic or not included in the report at all) this solution won't work and we get the "red x"!
Any suggestions??
Thanx,
Ofer.

Hi Ofer,
Virtual Char/KF behave as normal Char/KF in a sense that you create and add them in Infoproviders or Queries just like normal Char/KF. But they do not hold any data/values and their values are determined only at query run time (by writing code in user-exit for virtual kf/char.)
The logic could be something like this (though I'm pretty sure, would need to work on it again ):
Keep in mind that all this would be performed at query run time:
1. For each record, read material master data.
2. Get quantity, UoM for above record.
2. Get UoM from selection screen variable.
3. Convert and store in virtual KF.
You can search this forum for more information on it. Do let us know if need any more info.
Regards,
Vikrant.

Alternate unit implementation

Hi,
I need some help.
i'm trying to implement to alternate units how to paper in my BW system and it doesn't work.
I don't know why.
i did all steps from the document and it is still the same problem in the query, the colomn is empty with 0 value.
It seems that the progam doesn't go in the program i created.
I activated all but in the include YBW_AUNIT_ENHANCEMENT i have a problem :
 The field "L_TX_ATR" is unknown, but there is a field with the similar
I activated even with errors.
Any idea. i'm sorry to not give more details but i don't know what to do. i already done the appendix of the document and it is correct, except the breakpoint, there is no stop when i execute in RSRT.

BEx: How to change a Query Variable that is not visible in Filters List?

Hello Experts,
Good day, I'm currently editing an old query, I am changing the Query Variables with new ones, but I found one variable that I cannot replace.
Please see the screenshot below, in the Query Properties Window [Variable Sequence Tab (right side of picture)] the Variable that I am trying to replace (Unit) is visible. But when I look for the variable in the "Filter Tab" (left side of picture) under Characteristic Restrictions, it doesn't exist in the list.
How can I find this Variable and replace it with a new one?
Other reports are still using this variable so it will impact the other reports if I simply edit the variable. So I need to replace it with a new variable instead.
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
SInce you are searching for a variable for Unit, look into below screenshot and navigate to the variables.
First click on drop down and select 'Entry for variable' then you will get lisl (after you click on drop down in 'Target Unit' drop down option.
Normally these type of variable called 'Formula Variable' try editing any of the formula and locate the option as shown below,
Hope it helps! don't forget to update the final solution and mark the correct/helpful answers.
Remember it will help others to find the solution and motivate the members to answer your question.
Thanks,
Umashankar

Report Data in Alternate Unit of Measure

Hi
We are working on Unit of measure Conversion for this we are following How To.Report Data in Alternate Units of Measure document. We did all the steps as mentioned in the document still this is not working. All results are showing zeros with same units of key figure qty like EA, ROl, Boxes and so on. We want to convert this into Cartons and Pallets. My question is is there any thing we need to do which is not mentioned in this white paper.
For example maintaining Conversion Factor in R/3 side?
Do we need to add Conversion factor Key figure to Transfer Structure and Info cubes?
(Which is not mentioned in the white paper) if so which field we need to map this in Transfer Structure?
We are in Version 3.5
Thanks
Naga

Naga,
For your first question.....you can "maintain" different units of measure in 0MAT_UNIT, but at one time you can report on only one alternate unit.
For your second question, I have a feeling that it is the problem with your enhancement to the std SAP code which is mentioned in the How to Paper. After you have done the enhancements did you activate the programs again? If there is somebody with you who is good in ABAP just run this enhancement through him.
Also just make sure you have followed everystep in that how to document, including the query designer part of it.
According to the logic of that paper, if the alternate unit is not available, then it is supposed bring back data in base unit, it is not supposed to error out. Check your ehancement piece again.
Thanks
Yashu Raj

Conversion of alternate unit of measurement

Hi,
System will not allow to enter conversions of unit of measurements in decimal points. But is there any configuration or method, we can force system to accept conversions of unit of measurements in decimal points only? (For example 2.5kg = 1pc, base unit of measurement is 'PC' and alternate unit of measurement is 'KG')
Regards,
Sattuj

Hi,
For the given example of Alternate conversion you can use the following setting :
2.5 Kg = 1 Pc
Put the Values as :
25 Kg = 10 Pc
With this the objective of Decimal is achieved.
Please check the following posts for more info :

How to report on Alternate Units of measure

Hi ,
I am trying to implement the unit conversion ..i have few basic questions..
1)Do we need to have the 0MAT_UNIT in the cube/ODS
2)for 0material do i specifically need the base unit of measure as unit for the attribute conversion factor..
How do i go ahead if my conversion factor has a different unit..
3)In my scenario i am trying to do unit conversion on a keyfigure which has unit as billing qty in SKU..Do I need to do anything different in this case in order to convert to a diff unit..
Had changed the code given in the how to do doc..The report gave all the values as zero.
Pl suggest.
Appreciate ur inputs.
Regards,
G.V

I am using BW 3.5 .
Loaded/activated both 0material and omat_unit.
0MAT_UNIT is not maintained in the ODS/CUBE.
The keyfigure i am trying to convert to alternate unit of measure is billing qty in SKU which has billing qty in SKU
as unit to that quantity..
The user input variable for alternate unit of measure is defined on the unit billing qty in SKU..
when i debug it is not processing through this loop..
IF i_step = 0 AND i_vnam = 'YUOMCNVF' AND i_iobjnm = '0MATERIAL'.
read material and base uom from variables
LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO l_s_var.
CASE l_s_var-iobjnm.
WHEN '0MATERIAL'. l_material = l_s_var-low.
WHEN '0BASE_UOM'. l_base_uom = l_s_var-low.
ENDCASE.
ENDLOOP.
Pl advise..

Conversion in Alternate Unit of Measure

Hi All,
I have a report in which i report data in both base and alternate units of measure, the report has three filelds Material , Quantity (BUOM) and Quantity (AUOM). The problem is for a certain material; say Mat_1, the unit in which it is entered can be Carton or EA, i am using Carton to litre conversion, but my query fails when the material has EA as its unit. Is there a way by which i can convert the unit to litres be it in Cartons or EA???
Kindly suggest a solution anyone pls pls help
Thanx in advance
Regards,

Hi,
You can define your own Unit Translation using Tcode RSUOM in such a way that it takes a dynamic unit from each source record with fixed target unit as Litres.
Refer http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/1b/325d4217139041e10000000a1550b0/content.htm for Unit Translation creation.
You would need to ensure that unit translations are available in T006 table.

Display alternate unit of measure as a characteristic

Hello,
I have successfully implemented the 'How to ... Report Data in Alternate Units of Measure' using the business content infocube 0IC_C03, Material Stocks/Movements.
The infocube currently contains only base unit of measure.
In the queries I am displaying key figures in base unit and alternate unit of measure.
My requirement is to subtotal by alternate unit of measure. Is this possible? If I add 0BASE_UOM to the query this has no affect on the alternate unit of measure.
Can I add an alternate unit of measure characteristic to the infocube and populate it during query run time? Where would this configuration take place?
SAP_BW 3.1, content 3.3.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Mark

HI,
Go to Inforecord of that material with that vender on that plant.
Change Inforecord(me12)...here in general data...change the order unit.
system will give the conversion factor as u defined in material master.
Hope Help U !

Text lines in the BW query variables screen

Hi gurus.
The bw users ask me to display some text lines in the BW query variables prompt.
The text lines are saved in a custom table.
The only idea that I've got is to use customer exit text variables and fill them in CMOD when I_step = 1.
I don't like this solution (I should have more the 10 text lines and so I have to mantain more than 10 Text variables) but I can't find any other solution.
Any new idea or solution?
Is there in Bex enviroment a functionality (that I don't know) for doing somenthing like this ?
Thanks fo any help.
S.

Hi,
to resolve it you should create all the prompts in the BW query. You are using a query with 2 parameters and then a dynamic list of values. the dynamic list of values can only work after you entered the other values.
