Creation of keyfigure?

Question

Hi all,
I have an R/3 field for a table say OMENG and its datatype is Quant of length 15 with 3 decimal places.
The data in R/3 for this field is displayed as        
4.432,194  where as in Infocube->Manage it is displayed as  4.432,194 but in a report it is displayed as 4.432kg.
The z infoobject I created as Quantity keyfigure "QUAN - Quantity field, points to a uni",
decimal places: 0.000
display : 1,000  
& key with maximum precision.
am I creating the keyfigure properly?
please let me know.
thanks,
Sabrina.

Answer 1

dear Sabrina,
you should have created your infoobject keyfigure properly already.
each infoobject keyfigure with type/data type 'QUAN' (quantity) will have fix unit of measure or refer to characteristic UNIT, you can see your it's fix or see your unit characteristic in rsd2 type in your keyfigure and check in tab 'type/unit', 'currency/unit of measure'.
if it's not a fix unit then check in transfer rules if the infoobject unit has been mapped properly with unit field from r/3.
regarding maximum precision
Key Figure is Edited with Maximum Precision
If this indicator is set, the OLAP processor figures internally with the packed numbers that have 31 digits. In doing so, a higher degree of precision is possible than with floating point numbers, which are usually used by the OLAP processor.
In doing so, the rounding differences are especially reduced
hope this helps.
