Conversion automatic unit measure

Dear all.
I have a question/trouble with the unit measure.
I am using a material with Base Unit of Measure = pza and Order Unit = crt.
When a SC is created; it is with a Base Unit of Measure = pza; but when PO is created, It does not make the automatic conversion of Order Unit = crt
How can I make this conversion automatic?
I appreciate your support in this issue
Thanks in advance

Any suggestion?

Conversion of Unit of Measure in ALV Grid

Hi all,
I am using function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' to display some records in ALV grid. The record displays material, the quantity of the material consumed and the unit of measure (UoM) of the quantity. I am fetching the data from the table AUFM and the field I am using for UoM is ERFME.
The problem is that when the UoM is displayed in the ALV, it is displayed as KAR but when i print the report or check the print preview, the UoM is displayed as CAR. I want to display CAR also in the ALV.
I have tried using the function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT' which converts the KAR to CAR in the ALV, but when I print it or check the print preivew , it shows asterisks (*) in the UoM field.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can solve this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Hamza

Hi Ozkar,
I tried the function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT', it worked fine when displaying the UoM in the ALV, meaning it displayed CAR instead of KAR, but when I printed the list or chicked the print preview, it displayed stars (***) in the UoM field.
Anyway, I tried something else and now it is working fine. I am writing below what I did so that if anyone else has this problem, they can also do what I did.
As I said before, the UoM field was showing KAR instead of CAR in the ALV. So after passing the data to an internal table which would be used to display the data in the ALV, I called the function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT' and converted KAR to CAR. this displayed CAR in the ALV.
Now, to also get CAR in the print out and print preview,I declared variables gt_event_exit and lt_event_exit.
DATA: gt_event_exit TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF slis_event_exit,
           lt_event_exit TYPE slis_event_exit.
The variable will 'lt_event_exit' will contain the function codes of the Print(&RNT) and Print Preview (&RNT_PREV) buttons on the ALV. In the form where I am calling the function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY', I pass the function codes to lt_event_exit and append it to the internal table gt_event_exit.
lt_event_exit-ucomm = '&RNT'.
lt_event_exit-before = 'X'.
APPEND lt_event_exit TO gt_event_exit.
lt_event_exit-ucomm = '&RNT_PREV'.
lt_event_exit-before = 'X'.
APPEND lt_event_exit TO gt_event_exit.
Next I pass this table to the parameter 'IT_EVENT_EXIT' of 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'. I also create a form USER_COMMAND and pass this form to the parameter 'I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND' of 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' as shown below.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
   EXPORTING
             I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND = 'USER_COMMAND '
             IT_EVENT_EXIT                          = gt_event_exit
What the above does is that, when a user clicks on the print or print preview button, the system instead of printing the list, it passes the control to the form USER_COMMAND. After the form is processed, it prints the list.
In the form, I placed a loop on the internal table containing the data to be shown and simply converted the CAR back to KAR. The code is given below.
FORM user_command USING r_ucomm LIKE sy-ucomm
                          rs_selfield TYPE slis_selfield .
    CASE r_ucomm .
      WHEN '&RNT' OR '&RNT_PREV'.
        LOOP AT i_final .
          CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_INPUT'
             EXPORTING
               input = i_final-erfme
               language = sy-langu
             IMPORTING
               output = i_final-erfme
             EXCEPTIONS
               unit_not_found = .
          MODIFY i_final.
        ENDLOOP.
   WHEN .
   WHEN OTHERS.
    ENDCASE.
I hope this is helpful to anyone who has the same problem as I did. Now what I cant figure out is why the system automatically converts KAR to CAR when displaying print preview or when printing the list.
Well, thanks anyway for the suggestion Ozkar.

Hamza

The program uses tables mard and mska. In mard table fields used are mard-matnr, mard-labst,mard-Lagerort,mska-sobkz,mska-vbeln, mska-posnr,e mard-werks.
the program call mb1a for updating the data using Bdc .
<b></b>the problem is that the quantity of the stock is
shown only in the base unit of measure .. but some material have Alternative Unit of measure ... Its not taking Alternative Unit of measure ...
Any help is highly appreciated ..
Regards,
Amarnath Reddy.

Hi all ,
the program aim is to transfer the stock from the storage location with reference to order number from CO (cobl-aufnr).
In mard when i am able to c the unit of issue for the selected material number.
My question is in the report program sap is not looking for the unit of issue . It is only taking basic unit of issue ... Is there any way that program looks for the Unit of issue .

Different unit Measures Total in over all Result

Dear All,
The quantity is in different unit of measures like
Presently getting:
10PC
10KG
10PC
20KG
10ton
Total *
when add all those things the over result shows the *
when i go with CKF NODIM option i could not found againest which order kgs are there and for which order pcs are there.
So there is any option getting the overall result   total of different unit of measures .
I want as below
10PC
10KG
10PC
20KG
10ton
Over all Result :
20pc
30kg
10ton
like that I need any possibility , Unit converion doing at transforamation level based on the conversion factors
but the base unit of measure and Alternate unit of measures are different orders are having different units , so it should be added.
Please can anybody provide the some information.
Thanks & Regards,
Sathish

Hi,
Thanks for your kind responce,
which you said is ok to some extent , but the report looks not good
as per your idea the report output is below
order unit1    unit2    unit3   value     qty
1        x          kg        x      10000      20
2       to          x         x          5000     10
it looks like that , it is not good again the customer want total of the all units so the above one will not give
in which way i mentioned in same either it is possible or not
Once again thanks for kind responce and Idea
Thanks & Regards

Conversion between units belonging to different dimensions.

Hello Friends,
Is there any standard way available in BI 7.0 to convert unit cubic meter (M3) to Tonnes (TO). I am struggling to convert as both the units belong to different dimensions (M3 -> Volume and TO -> Mass).
There is a function module in R/3 (MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT) which does the required conversion. I am not able to find an equivalent in BI.
Please assist as this is time critical. Thanks!
Regards,
Prem.

Hello Prem,
See this doc
[How to Report Data in Alternate Units of Measure|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b7b2aa90-0201-0010-a480-a755eeb82b6f]

Is there a way to automatically build measure object with SUM(col_name) from INT DB column?

Hello,
I have a workflow that needs to be repeated every month and I'd like to optimize it.
1. DB table in SQL Server 2008 looks something like this:
TABLE [CONTRACTS_GCO_LVL2](
[CONTRACTS_BP_ID] [varchar](50),
[Flag 1] [int] ,
[Flag 2] [int] ,
[Flag 3] [int] ,
2. I bring this table into my BOE IDT 4.0.3 and drag it into object folder. All INT columns become dimensions. This is not what I want. These are 1/0 flags for me and I need them to be measures with SUM aggregation.
3. I select all these INT sourced dimensios and right click on them with "Turn into measure with aggregation function - SUM"
The problem is that step #3 is unbelievably slow. I need to spend hours doing this as I have thousands of these flags. I end up selecting all dimensions from one screen and converting them at the same time. This takes 4-5 minutes. IDT runs on a Win 2008 R2 Enterprise server with 32 GB RAM and 4 CPUs.
In Universe Designer there used to be external strategies that allowed some customization of how the objects get automatically created from DB tables. I know there are no strategies in r4 (External strategy for tables) but is there anything else to make this process faster?
Thank you all!
Natasa

Hrm, I'm suspecting that perhaps it has to do something with setting CHAR fields. Some of the fields in this table are CHAR but I don't see a call in my PreparedStatement that can set a char, only a String, so that's what I've been using, but it may be that that's not the right thing to do. I'm running Java 1.5.10, and looking through the API there doesn't seem to be anything specifically for char.

Conversion of units

Hi Experts
Can anyone help me with conversion of a key figure which has cases to each. I have a kf which is having the numbers correctly if we filter units - sales unit as cases and bases units as eaches.. but when we remove the filter it removes all the numbers and is showing the same value. This is in the cube level. Now I want to show this converted value in kf, but not the same value. Can any one help? This is BI 7.0. If I have to write a code, can you show me step by step where and how to write it.
Thank you
Swetha

Hi,
Do you need conversion at report level or at staging/cube level?
If it is at report level try creating CKF in report by using availabe fuctions.
Please provide some exaple of your conversion so will be able to try more.
I hope it will help.
Thanks,

No rounding with rounding profil when conversion Roundg Unit Purch Unit

Hello,
I have a trouble when I try to make a purchase order with a material which has this data:
Base unit ST
Purchase unit on info record : CAR
Rouding profil on info record : only with unit PAQ (%+ 50 ; %-50)
Variable purchase order unit : 1 active.
CAR = 10 ST
PAQ = 5 ST
When I make a purchase order, the quantity is only rounding with the purchase unit.
Does anybody know why?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Sarah
Edited by: Sarah Ah on May 24, 2011 11:15 AM

Hi
Its quite difficult to suggest something based on your inputs.
In purchase orders, the system rounds to the unit of measure most suitable for logistics purposes.
You can refer the documentation on dynamic rounding profile

Sales Unit Measure

Hi friends,
I am working with a store network that sell Ceramic Tiles, and they use Square meters (M2) as a Base Unit of Measure for this material. They also handle the inventories in M2 and the material Price is by M2.
The problem we have, is that they sell the material in M2, but it is packed in boxes of 1.5 M2 each one for example, and the customer ask for M2 but the quantity may not be equivalent to the M2 in the boxes.
I mean, if a customer ask for 2 M2, but as each box has 1.5M2, the Sales Order should show 3 M2, because we cant divide the box and the delivery unit should be to 2 boxes (CRT unit in SAP).
I defined M2 as a Base Unit of Measure and CRT as an Alternative Unit of Measure, using the relationship 10 CRT to 15M2, in order to use whole numbres, because the system doesnt allow decimals.
I also defined, in the carpet sales org. 1, the following quantity stipulations:
Min . order qty: 1.5 M2 ; Min. Dely qty: 1.5 M2; Delivery unit: 1 CRT
In the Plant data /stor. 1 carpet, I defined CRT as a Unit of issue.
I made a test but it didnt work, I create an order for 2M2 and the system showed 2M2 instead of 3M2.
Could you please tell me what I did wrong and how to solve it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Manoj, I already had the condition PR00 defined for the material, and the price is by M2, because they sell by M2.
I solved the problem partially with the rounding profile in the material master record, and now the system rounds the M2 quantity to the M2 in the box, I mean, if the sales order is by 5M2, the system rounds to 6M2 because each box has 1.5M2 and this is ok, however the system doesn't take the unit delivery in boxes (CRT) but M2, and we need to delivery in boxes not in M2.

Changing of base unit measure

Hi Experts,
I have problem regarding the changing of base unit of measure, I already closed all documents of related material, but still it can not be changed
Error message given as
The base unit of measure cannot be changed.
The reasons for this are:
Material staging requirements already exist.
Reserv.No. Item
No Data
awaiting for your valuable answer.
Rakesh

Dear,
Message no M3 189?
Activating the deletion flag or completing the production order technically is not sufficient if you want to exclude the production orders from the check since you can cancel these statuses at any time.
The solution is to set the deletion indicator for the affected orders with the help of Transaction CO78 and to archive afterwards.
Please refer OSS Note 95491and 138767.

Regarding unit measure of material

Dear Guru's,
I want to know the path for defining the new unit of measure for material like EA-EACH,KG-KILOGRAM.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
cherukuri

hi,
You can only change the base units of measure unter the following circumstances:
No stocks are available for the material.
There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.
At present, no purchase orders or purchase order items are being created or changed.
If requests for quotations, purchasing info records, or contracts are available for a material, the system emits a warning if you change the base unit of measure. If one of these objects is then changed into an order, you only need to specify in a dialog box the factor for converting the base unit of measure into the new base unit of measure. The purchasing info records are then, if necessary, updated.
Procedure
Call the material master record in the create mode.
Overwrite the old base unit of measure with the new one in one of the user department screens.
Save the change.
regards,
Siddharth.

Automatically update measurement in Rental Object

Dear Expert,
Normally when we change the measurement in Architectural object, the measurment will be automatically updated to others Architectural object related to it.
For example i
f we expand the measurement in the building which is under the business entity, system will issues a message to update the
measurement for others architectural objects in above hierachy.
Is it possible to do the same function for the rental object such as room (RU02)under the building (RU01)
Best regards,
Timaporn

Dear Joerg,
Thank you very much for your advice. I found that, the measurement amount of RO can be automaticcally update if it link to architectural object with full assignment. When the measument of architectural object is changed, the system will automatically update rentsl object assigned to it.
However, my requirement is to make the RO to be automatically update the measument amount in the related hierachy when change is made from RO, not AO.
is there anyway to make this possible?
Best regards,
Tima
