Unit conversion (days to hours)

Hello,
I have got a question concerning unit conversion in integrated planning.
I created a key figure called "workload" and asigned the UnitInfoObject "0unit". Two input-ready queries are available in order to plan the workload in two different units of measurements. One allows planning in hours and the other in days. Furthermore, I would like to have the planned data only in the unit "hours" available in the InfoCube. This requires a unit conversion in some place for the input-ready query that retrieves workload data in days. I am not sure, if a planning function is the appropriate manner to solve this issue. The conversion factor should be 8 as 1 working day is equal to 8 working days.
Can anybody explain me how to do that? The sap.help.com is not very expressive in respect with this issue!
I found a "HowTo" paper in sdn. Apparently, you have to maintain an InfoObject in order to convert the data. I do not understand why you need an InfoObject as a the conversion is a simple factor (in this case times 8 ).
Thanks in advance!

you can use a FOX formula for that

Planning Unit - Changing Days to Hours

The project I am working in started with Engineering work, scheduled in days. I have added the Construction portion later, which needs to be scheduled in hours. How do I do this within the same schedule without affecting the previous work? I'm working in Primavera P6.1.

The default planning unit in P6 is hours. So, even though your Engineering work is entered in days, the schedule is calculated based on the equivalent hours.

Service unit conversions

Hi all...
We are procuring Labors as "SERVICES" on daily wages basis and are assigned to the Production Cost Centers
If we assign unit of measure as "DAYS" is AC01 and specify the wage as Rs. 140/Day, but while capturing the product cost in PP, labor costs will be in PER HOUR basis, where as we have set 140/Day in the Service Master.
My doubt is, how the system will convert this Days into Hours? should we specify Unit conversion in Service Master?
when I tried to maintain this conversion in service master as 1 DAY=8 Hrs , system was showing some other values..
Can someone provide some info?
Secondly for services like Annual AMC (service contracts) how to create a service contract? Is it ME31K with item category D ?
Kindly help
Suraj

Can any body pls tell me how to maintain the formula as 8 HRS = 1 DAY ?
When I tried to maintain in AC01 it automaticall takes 86400 HRS= 3600 DAYS which means 24 HRS/DAY...
Thanku

Hi,
You can try unit conversion planning function,create planning function and add it at the back of button.
Can refer to link below:-
Not sure if it can solve your problem.As it also depends upon source and target keyfigure used.

Calculation of planned costs in CS service order with 1 day = 8 hours

Dear experts!
What kind of possibilities do I have to calculate the planned costs in the CS service order (IW31) on the basis 1 day = 8 hours.
Right now, when I create the operation with "amount of work" = 5 days, the system calculates 120 hours * x u20AC. My requirement would be, that the system calculates 40 hours * x u20AC.
Do I have to change settings in transaction CUNI or can I use the work center to solve my problem? Or any other idea?
Kind regards,
Jens
Edited by: Jens Neßlage on Oct 28, 2009 6:28 PM

Jens,
You should be able to use the work center to solve this problem.Check the working hours in the operation work center and make sure its set to 8 hrs.This should solve your problem.

Take your Mac to a location with a fast, relaible Internet connection that will be all yours during the duration of the download.

Problem in 2 level Unit conversion using ref IO

Hi All,
I am doing UoM conversion using conversion types - dynamic conversion using reference info object.
Now in the UoM DSO, which stores the conversion factors, I have relation between 2 units say PC (pieces, dimensionless) and KG (kilogram, dimension = MASS) for some material.
For e.g I have 1 Pc of material A = 2 KG.
So if the existing qty key figure has unit PC in IC and the reporting unit given by me is KG, successful conversion takes place using the UoM DSO.
E.g. 4 PC of Mat A is displayed as 8 KGs.
Also if existing unit in IC is KG, and RU is 'g' conversion is taking place usion tghe system CUoM table T006.
E.g. 2 KG is displayed as 2000 g.
I selected the third option when creating Conv Type, i.e. first look in ref IO then T006. Hence the above results.
But if the existing qty key figure has unit PC and if the reporting unit given is 'g' or some other MASS unit, conversion is not taking place. Ideally it should first look into the DSO table to convert 'PC' to 'KG', then look the T006 table to convert 'KG' to 'g', but this is not happening.
E.g. 4 PC of mat A isn't shown as 8000 g. It is still shoeing as 4 PC.

Hi Shai,
It sometimes show without all the screens, I guess u should refresh.
Anyway,
Try running the query thorugh RSRT with Debug, with a breakpoint on currency/quantity conversion. I would suggest to restrict the test query to show only one record that should be converted so the debugging would be easier.
Anyway, Have fun.

Some Insights-
Unit conversions
with NW2004s the HOW-TO GUIDE for qty conversion is obsolete.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/27/b65c42b4e05542e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
As of SAP NetWeaver 2004s you can create quantity conversion types using transaction RSUOM.
The business transaction rules of the conversion are established in the quantity conversion type. The conversion type is a combination of different parameters (conversion factors, source and target units of measure) that determine how the
conversion is performed.
In terms of functionality, quantity conversion is structured similarly to currency translation.
Quantity conversion allows you to convert key figures with units that have different units of measure in the source system into a uniform unit of measure in the BI system when you update them into InfoCubes

It is entered in ODS table linked to info object (0material)
What you need to do basically is-
1 ) Goto your infoobject for eg- 0material
2 ) In Info object Maintenance- Tab page- Bex Explorer
3 ) Enter 0BASE_UOM in Base unit of measure
4 ) Generate UOM ODS (System generates it with prefix UOM)
It is made of 4 fields (1 more in case of compounding) with SID for them. This is the place where you enter numerator and
denominator to calculate conversion factor
5 ) Load the UOM ODS with conversion from 0MAT_UNIT_ATTR or flat file
6 ) Define conversion type
7 ) In the conversion type, then you can select 0Material in the dynamic determination of conversion factor
8 ) Select source unit and target unit

Unit Conversion in Query Designer

Hi All,
In one of my report, i have to show the gross weight in column against material which i am reading from material master.
Now the weight is stored in two different unit's KG & G.
But i have to show the weight finally in KG.
Does any body has any idea of performing unit conversion at Query level i.e. in Query Designer.
Thanks.

Rakesh the same i am doing, that is reading the weight value from material master through formula variable using replacement path.
Now when i create a key figure like this, there is a tab of 'Conversion' in that there is mentioned the 'Unit conversion'
In there, there are 2 options
1. Conversion type - this is a drop down but with no vlaue
2. Target Unit - Where i selected KG.
But output remains the same, i.e. in KG.
M I missing something ?

Standard function for returninf time difference in days and hours.

Hello all,
Can somebody tell me whether there exists some standard function module which can calculate the time difference and returns the calculated time in the form of days and hours ?
e.g. the time difference between the date 1.12.2007 from 7.00 pm to the date 1.1.2008 till 9.00 pm is
30 days and 2 hours or 30 : 2.
answer as soon as possible.
Thanks and regards,

Thanks a lot ya..
thats an absolutely correct solution to my problem. )

Unit Conversion in the Query

Hello Experts.
I have a situation where I need the units of quantity to be converted at the query level. For e.g. if the value of the keyfigure is stored in litres in the Cube, then at the time of the query execution this value should be converted in gallons.
I cannot use the following options in this case:
1) The Solution for alternate UOM using the How-to guide for the same as the conversion from liters to gallons is not maintained at the material master level in my case
2) I cannot use the Unit Conversion in the Conversion tab because gallons won't be the only target unit in my report, it will depend on the type of material select by the user.
Please let me know about the options in this case. Any sort of help is appreciated and points will be duly rewarded.
Thanks,
Rishi

Hi Prasad,
In both of the ways, there should be only one target unit for them to work which is not the case in my situation. I want only specific material types to be displayed in gallons. If the User selects a different Material type then the target unit will be different.
Any other possible solution on this one.
Thanks,
Rishi

Currency (unit) conversion in Spotlight?

Hi!
With Leopard came the ability to use Calculator.app within Spotlight. Brilliant. But is there any way to use Calculator's awesome unit conversion in Spotlight, too? I find myself going to google every time (d'uh).

Unit Conversion issue for same material with Diff KPI

Hi,
i have a report with multiple key figures which form a structure.
Unit conversion for this report and all the key figures are defined at report level.
Below are the settings in place
Source currency:    Data record from target
Target Currency:    From variable ( Input variable in BeX report)
Conversion factor: Dyanamic Determination of conversion factor
                               Using Reference Infobject if available otherwise use T006
                               Reference Infobject: 0Material
Issue: For 1 Key figure conversion to TO is happening, however for other Key figure conversion is not happening for the same material.
Note: Conversion to TO is defined in BEX settings for Info object 0material and stored in DSO UOM0MATE.
Why for same material some key figures convert to target unit correctly and not the others?
See the attached screenshot. Sales Quantity is convertin to "TO" while Volume third party shows figue in"ERR" for same material.
Thanks
Nayab

Hi,
Following reasons cause to your issue,
1. Unit Conversion is not maintained for that particular material in source system Material itself, so that conversion data data may not updated in DSO (UOM0MATE).
2. For particular transnational data record key figure value don't have any base unit or units measures, that case also you may get that error.
Request check the transnational data in your InfoProvider and 0Material Master data and DSO data (UOM0MATE) . Correct the data based on that.
Check the Master data test in RSRV for 0Material, if any SID generations was missed or not.
I hope this can be help to find the cause of error , based on that you can resolve problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Leela Krishna.

Quantity and Unit conversions

Hi Experts,
I have an inventory report in which i have three columns (Total cost per unit, Stock Quantiy and stock values)
Total Cost per unit is in EUR -- currency conversion exists in the report level.
Stock Quantity in KG/PC/LB - Unit conversion exists at report level.
Stock value in EUR -- Multiplication of Total cost per unit and stock quantity.
In my case, Total cost per unit and Stock quantities are coming from different Infocubes on top of which a MP is designed.
When i change the UOM from KG to G or PC or LB, Stock Quantiy values are changing accordingly.
However the Stock value is also changing which should not happen because realistically Stock value in EUR for a specific material and plant combination should always be same irrespective of any UOM(KG/G/PC/LB) for the keyfigure "Stock Quantity".
I am wondering if it possible to change the "Total cost per unit" value in the report according to the change in UOM.If so can you provide me your valuable inputs?
Quick help is highly appreciated.
Best Regards
Nag

hi,
Please use CKF's for all the three values, currently it might be changing as it might be a simple formula i.e. a = b*c.
if b changes then a is bound to change.
create CKF without any currency conversion. apply the calculations in CKF.
In the end use CKF in the report and apply the conversions after adding them in the query column.
regards,
Arvind.

Unit Conversion Problem

Hi I am having some issues in unit conversion.Let me brefly explain the scenarioa below
Coversion Type Settings:
Source currency:    Data record from target
Target Currency:    From variable ( Input variable in BeX report)
Conversion factor: Dyanamic Determination of conversion factor
                               Using Reference Infobject if available otherwise use T006
                               Reference Infobject: 0Material
Now for 1 material "Conversion to ton" attribute is zero as below. But at report level conversion to TO is happening correctly.
However for other material Conversion to TO is zero and at report conversion aint happening. (Target currency appears as ERR).
Why is conversion not happening for 20053110, because in both the cases above 0Material infobject is referred to read conversion factor.
Thanks

Hi Nayab,
In both cases, the value in the "Conversion to TON" attribute is irrelevant.
The option you have selected in RSUOM will basically do the following
1. Check the unit conversion DSO for 0MATERIAL. You can see the DSO name if you open 0MATERIAL in RSD1, check the BEx tab. Normally it is UOM0MATE, but it may be configured as something else in your system. This DSO defines the conversion rates at a material level. For instance, it could say the conversion rate for Material ABC for Pieces -> KGs is X... i.e. 1 piece = X KGs.
2. If the above fails (i.e. no conversion exists for the material in the above DSO), then it tries to convert the quantities based on the T006 table. This second step only works for conversions within a physical dimension. For instance, the second step will work for conversions from Ton->KG, KG->lbs, metres->feet, litres -> gallons etc, but it will not work for say gallons -> tons or pieces -> kgs.

Suhas
