Different Units in the Report

Question

Hi All,
We have a cube in which we store delivery quantities in sales units. We have another ODS in which we store the delivery quantities in different units, say Litres, KGs, Pounds etc.
Ex:
Cube:
DelNo quantity Unit
1001        100      L
1002     150     KG
ODS:
PODNo Item Quantity Unit
1001     10   100     L
1001     10   160     KG
1001      10   200     UG6
1002     10   110     L
1002      10   150     KG
1002        10   190     UG6
The User wants a flexibility to look at the quantities in different units i.e they want a variable on selection screen in which they input the required Unit, say KG, then all the quantities in the report should show in KGs.
In the above given example for Del No 1001, cube stores the quantities in 'L' but it has to be displayed in KGs by taking the KGs value from the ODS.
Is it possible to do this?
Both DelNo in cube and PODNo in ODS store the Delivery Number but both have different technical names.

Hi nene,
                To do Quantity conversions at report levels,
please follow these steps.
1)Maintain settings at infoobject level(under BEX settings tab),
whenever u made this setting and activate the infoobject one DSO name with "Generated Data Store Object " will be generated.
2)Run the DTP where the default DSO was generated
3)goto Tcode RSUOM,goto tab "Conversion factors",give reference object(as which object u need unit conversion)
4)Under UOM tab select the option of source quantity and target quantity unit
5)Goto BEX,under the properties of keyfigure >conversion>unitconversion have to be taken,variable comes here as conversiontype u have given at RSUOM tcoce.
Hope this helps you
Thanks,
