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..

  • How to Report on Alternate Unit of Measure

    Hi All,
        We recently implemented SAP for our Canadian operations. The Canadians want to see all our custom and standard reports in Alternate units of measure ( KG's & Ltr's ) but our reports only display in Lbs & Gal's. We were able to change our custom reports but is there any setting that SAP provides for the standard reports/transactions to display Alt UoM. We don't want to rush in and start changing standard reports. I'm sure, lot of you faced this situation before.

  • Reporting Data in Alternate Units of Measure

    We have a requirement to report data in base unit of measure and also in pounds and kilograms. I have read the paper "How to Report Data in Alternate Units of Measure".  My problem is that in our R/3 system the conversion from base unit of measure to pounds is maintained, but no conversion from base unit of measure to kilograms is maintained.  In BW, I have 0MAT_UNIT for conversion to pounds but not to kilograms.  For the solution to work, am I correct in thinking that the conversion to kilograms must exist in 0MAT_UNIT?
    Also, the paper states that it is applicable to BW releases 2.0A to 3.1C.  Those of you on BW 3.5 - is there new functionality or a different way of handling reporting in alternate units of measure?
    Thanks for your help,
    Gail Bodner

    Gail,
    Nothing new in 3.5 for UoM conversion. It will still have to be the way described in the How To paper.
    Maintin the conversion in R/3. Also, Pounds to KG is a standard coversion - you can hard code it too. Issue in UoM conversion comes in where you cut across type of uints, i.e. from vol. to weight. Then additional information like density is needed but within the same area, it shouldn't be a problem.

  • Regarding Alternate Unit of Measure

    Sir,
    Is there a provision to create a material with an Alternate Unit of Measure apart from the Barse Unit of Measure?.
    In this case what impact will the Alternate Unit of Measure have in the BOM?. How to configure the Alternate Unit of Measure of a Child Component in the BOM?.
    Can anyone give a detailed explanation of the subject.
    Regards,
    R. Vijayakumar

    Hi,
    Use tcode MM01 and select Additional data field in top. In this select Unit of measure tab page.
    Now enter the alt UOM with conversion factor.
    In this case what impact will the Alternate Unit of Measure have in the BOM?.
    In the BOM, you can assign only base unit. Alt UOM can not assign.
    How to configure the Alternate Unit of Measure of a Child Component in the BOM?.

  • 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

  • Alternate unit of measurement for quantity field in Report

    Hi All,
    I got a requirement like to populate alternate unit of measurement also in the report so how best i can do this when taking consideration of performance issues and all. I got few suggestions like to write a field routine in tranformations...
    So guide me how best i can do this, if any code is required let me know the code also.
    Eg. material...PP_Ingot has 2 units of measurement .....Ton & Each.
          So i need to display Qty in both Tons and Each in the report.
    Please suggest me .
    Thanks
    Srini.

    Hi Gregory,
    Thanks for the immediate reply.I was busy in some other issue so this is delayed.
    I hav a key fig YLOSMENGE  (inspection lot qty) in Base unit of Mea and mapped to r3 with losmenge and baseunit of mea.
    Next i hav created a new kf ZLOSMENGE with unit of mea so i want to know how to map this with r3 field and with which unit.
    So kindly suggest me.

  • Report Data in to two alternate Unit of Measures

    Hi
    We Implemented "How to Report Data in to two alternate Unit of Measure". I have a question
    1 Could we maintain Two alternate Unit of Measures for one Base Unit of Measure?
    For example if Base unit is EA ( Each) we need to maintain this as CAR( Carton) and PAL ( Pallet).
    Thanks
    Naga

    Hi Naga,
    Are you talking about Qty Unit conversion. We can surely maintain CAR,EA,PAL and all. The Numerator and Denoms are maintained in T006. And accordingly the conversion happens.
    Apart from that you can have your own customized Qty conversion using Transaction 'RSUOM'.
    Lemme me know if this helps.

  • 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.

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.

  • Display of Alternate Unit of Measure

    Hi there,
    We try to display alternate unit of measure <b>in BEx</b> 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 <b>in the rows</b> 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.

  • 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?

  • Alternate unit of measure and its impact on CO module

    Hi
    We are in CPG company, our client has decided to use CAR (i.e. Carton) as base unit of measure and TO (tonnage) as alternate unit of measure. CO users and client management wants to run planning, allocation and CO-PA analysis in TO (tonnage).
    Some of activities like cost estimates will be run using CAR. We have come to know that we might have to use COPA0005 enhancement.
    We need to know how it will impact CO module as TO is not base unit of measure for finished goods?
    Thanks in advance.
    Chris

    Thanks Ajay for your reply. My point is that we need to know the impact on CO module because our Client will use CAR (carton) as base unit of measure and CO users have to use TO (tonnage) for planning, allocation,  profitability analysis, etc.
    We will define the UoM conversion relationship in material master, say 1 TON = 125 CAR.
    We have come to know that cost estimate can only be run using base unit of measure (i.e. CAR) so client will have to run cost estimate using CAR.
    What about other functionality like allocations, planning, CO reports, etc. What will be the impact on CO module as TO is not the base unit of measure and our client have to use TO for allocations, reporting, CO-PA, etc.
