  • How to model a conversion table for unit of measures?

    Hi
    I am looking for some input on how to model a many-to-many relationship.
    The situation:
    A fact table with columns:
    Product
    Unit of Measure
    Date
    Value
    1 product is stored with 1 and only 1 unit of measure - e.g. Product = Oil, unit of measure = m3
    The fact contains several products, each having its own unit of measure.
    A dimension 'Unit of measures' with columns
    Unit Of Measure
    Unit Of Measure Name
    Measure System
    While reporting on the facts it should be possible to chose the unit of measure I want to see my facts in. E.g. I want to be able to show Oil-production in m3 or barrels or liters, etc.
    My challenge:
    How to model this requirement?
    Right now I tend to go for a bridge table between the fact and the dimension.
    But I was wondering:
    a) are there other ways to model it
    b) are there pitfalls in using Bridge tables?
    c) Can I re-use the bridge table in combination with other facts as the model grows?
    c.2) do I need to create an alias on the bridge table to re-use it?
    Thanks for your help
    regards

    Hi Kart,
    ok let's say my model looks like this (columns below the tables names, sample in brackets) - again ignoring a date dimension:
    Dim_Product --- 1:n --- Fact ----- n:1 ----- Dim_UOM
    Id (1,2) Prod_id Id (1,2,3)
    Name (Oil, Gas) UOM_id Name (m3, Barrel, Litre)
    Value
    So the products are coming from the Dim_product, Unit_of measures coming from Dim_UOM.
    Fact values would look like this
    Prod_id UOM_id Value
    1 1 10
    1 2 84
    1 3 10000
    etc
    If I need to report in a new measure, I would be forced to add a new record to the fact table
    Prod_id UOM_id Value
    1 1 10
    1 2 84
    1 3 10000
    1 4 150
    with 4 being the new measure id.
    What I am looking for is a way to be more flexible when it comes to converting values to different measures.
    Thanks
    Regards

  • Getting an error in CIF Inbound queue:"Only 0 decimal places are permitted for unit of measure PC"

    Hi,
    I am getting an error in CIF Inbound queue (function: CIF_ORDER_INBOUND_30A). The error text says "Only 0 decimal places are permitted for unit of measure PC".
    Can anyone point out the solution to resolve this error? It would be a big help for me as I am new to APO and so getting difficult to find a clue for it.
    Thanks.
    Regards
    Mansi

    Hi Mansi,
    Please check the cif queue you will get the order number from that order number you can find out material code. Then check the material master unit of measure in MM03 you have used some alternative unit of measure and system is unable to convert order to  alternative unit of measure because of decimal setting. If you go to CUNI and check the unit if measure PC it is not permitted for decimal places. If you need decimal than change the UoMof Material and use diff UoM or allow the decimal for PC which is not good practice.

  • Decimal places for unit of measure

    Dear All ,
    If i change the Decimal Places for rounding in Customizing for Unit of measure ( CUNI tcode) for KG as 6 from 3 whether it will calculate with the 6 decimal places like 0.004756 ( earlier with 3 decimal places it will calculate any multiplication with 0.004 now i want the same with 0.004756 Kg )
    whether it will work ?
    and where it will impact

    Hi
    No it will not work like that. And it depend on the transaction where you enter that. In case of Purchase order quntity field it will be always with 2 decimal places because field MENGE has 2 decimal places only. If your system is already live then it is not advisible to do such changes.

  • Valuation of characteristics for unit of measure "" causes rounding diff

    Dear gurus,
    I am facing a problem on Goods Issue and Transfer Posting. My Material is maintained with Batch Specific Unit of Measure.
    Base Unit = Kg ,and Batch specific unit of Measure = BAL(Bales).
    My unit of Issue = BAL. For every bale at the the time of GR, i m storing the wieght of the Bales in the system. Now at the time of Issue and transfer posting, system is giving the following error message:
    "Valuation of characteristic for unit of measure BAL causes rounding diff"
    In unit = KG, Decimal places = 7, Decimal places rounding = 7
    In Unit = BAL, decimal places = 3, Decimal places rounding = 3.
    Kindly help me guys...
    Thanks

    Dear Johi,
    See SAP NOTE 147489 - Error XU033 in goods movement with active ingredient. If you doesn't need to check rounding errors:
    "For this use the following path: Logistics -> General -> Batch Management -> Define System Message Attributes (Transaction OCHS)."
    Edit the system message XU03 to no errors.

  • How to assign a value for Unit of measure (like PC, KG...) in ABAP program?

    Hi,
        How to assign a value for Unit of measure (like PC, KG...) in ABAP program?
        I want to assign PC in a field to execute the program, like wa-ENTRY_UOM = 'pc'.
        But the system returen a message that "Unit of measure  is not convertible to stockkeeping unit PC"
        Could anyone tell me how to assign the value??
        Thanks!

    hi,
    first convert the quantity in the same unit  ( like in you case ST to PC )  by using FM :    MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT
    CALL FUNCTION 'MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT'
        EXPORTING
          i_matnr                    = matnr
          i_in_me                    = entry_uom
          i_out_me                   = out_uom
          i_menge                    = quantity
       IMPORTING

         ERROR                      = 2
         OTHERS                     = 3.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
              give error message here
       ENDIF.
    bcoz in ur program somewhere the quantities etc are compared and there units may be different... so that is why it is showing such error.  so just convert convert the quantity in the same unit  .

  • Decimal Points for Unit of Measurement

    Hi all
    For doing service entry in the QTY field can we put the value upto six decimal for any unit.
    in customisation for Unit of measurement can we configure this thing putting decimal places - six or is there any other setting is required
    Please help
    Thanks in advance
    Rajesh

    Hi,
    Yes in customisation for Unit of measurement you can customize it,
    but it will be valid whenver you use this UOM in the system.
    There is one thing also you can do
    The Quantity fields decimal points in service entry is by default 3 digits ,
    so to use 1,123456  quantity for lets say price 10 $
    you can multiply both sides with 1000
    i mean
    use 1123,456 for 10000 $
    just an idea
    Regards
    Hope it helps

  • HELP Make Settings for Units of Measurement for Monitoring of Consumption

    I just cant' define an unit of measure to stablish consumption calculation. I know how to make all the other settings, but I just can't stablish the unit of measure to use in there.
    Could please somebody gime this explanation ? Step by step ?
    I've read that are preconfigured units of measure for examplo MPG miles per gallon US but I will use Kilometers per litre.
    I want to know how to create this unit
    how to link it with an existing SI group
    So I can use it in the step Make Settings for Units of Measurement for Monitoring of Consumption
    thanks in advance

  • Routing - decimal places for unit of measure conversion quantity

    Hello all,
    in the change routing screen in SAP (CA02), when going to a operation detail screen, a unit of measure conversation value can be defined. A value for header and operation can be made.
    Currently we cannot set any decimal values for operations, I get the error message: "decimal places are not permitted."
    Where in customizing can I change that?
    Thanks
    Anne

    Hello,
    thanks for the answers.
    The UoM is LB.
    I've already checked CUNI, but I can not find LB..?
    Also I've noticed other places in SAP, for example the base quantity of some operations in the routing have a numbers with 3 decimal places and the same UoM LB, so this looks like the UoM is setup fine, maybe there are just problems with this special screen?
    Thanks

  • Function module for conversion in basic unit of measure....

    Hi,
    Can someone give me a function module, which will convert the Unit of measure into basic unit of measure
    Say a a material has 3 CA (Cases) in a PO and the conversion factor(UMREZ in table MARAM) for CA for that material is 4 and converison for MP (Master pack) is 12,then
    3CA =  9 PC = (9/12) MP
    But I want a function module which will do this conversions ?

    Hi,
      Use MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT

  • Change for Unit of measure in condition master

    Hi, gurus..
    I want to know this is SAP error or not..
    I created condition for material H20.
    H20     70500 usd  per 1 SET
    and edited the unit of measure in addtion of material master record.
    1 EA - 1EA
    1 SET - 6 EA
    then I create SO in VA01 with line item
    H20   1EA   ...
    but condition record showed me a wrong value..
    H20    11774  usd  per 1EA...
    70500 / 6  = 11750  usd..Why  11774...??
    So, I changed the condition for more test..
    H20  11750 usd per 1EA...
    After input line item in VA01.
    H20  1 Set...
    then condition was 70500 usd per 1 SET ..Right result..
    I tried it on other system ( Best Practices 1606) once more  but result was same.
    This is SAP ERROR ??? or not..
    Plz..give me your ideas..

    Dear Kim,
    this error will come due to conversion factor at sales order level .kindly check in the item level how the conversion factor will take the system and also try to change the Quantity and check once again. this will come rare case , if you want to check the conversion error ,debug at the sales order level . for your reference I am attachment the conversion factor path .

  • Conversion Problem in Unit of measure 1PAC=100,000 EA

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing the problem in conversion of Unit of Measures.
    If some material has the conversion unit when we order to Vendor.
    The Unit of measure is EA, the Order unit is PAC.
    The conversion is 1PAC=100,000 EA
    But the System is allowing as 1PAC=10,000 EA only and it is not allowing to enter 100,000 EA and throughing the error
    Entry too long (enter in the format __,___)
    Message no. 00089
    How can we increase the characters of the Unit of measure. Like this we have some 50 Materials, I need to increase the length of the conversion spaces. How to do it, Please guide me.

    Hi
    you can check this out the denominator factor is Stored in structure - SMEINH - field UMREN.
    Best option is to maintain decimal place for the UOM , which is more easier to mainatin.
    Even if you go through the note the same is explained. Please read below for Too large numerators and denominators
    When 120000 CM3 = 0,2 tons (TO), you can no longer save numerator and denominator of conversion ratio 600000 CM3 = 1 TO as numerator and denominator may have maximally five digits.
    Here, you must either select a larger volume unit or a smaller unit of weight: With DM3 the conversion ratio would be 600 DM3 = 1 TO, with KG the conversion ratio would be 600 CM3 = 1 KG.
    Generally, the alternative units of measure and the base unit of measure should result in quantities that are in the same dimension since the conversion factors may not be larger than 99999/1 and not smaller than 1/99999.
    Thanks & Regards

  • 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.
