Unit Conversion in BEx BI7.0

Hello all,
Im working with BI7.0 and I have been reading the posts about the quantity conversion and In order to use the unit conversion in BEX (not in transformation), I can apply the sugestion described in
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b7b2aa90-0201-0010-a480-a755eeb82b6f
But what happens with the post in this forum about using transaction RSUOM ..i mean if i use the link solution isnot necessary to use transaction RSUOM? or with BI7 is the "new" solution to use RSUOM ¿?
Can someone please explain a little bit
Thanks in advance for your help.

thanks gdmon for your help..
I have already created the underlying DSO and "connected" to the 0MAT_UNIT InfoObject using a transformation. In the transformation rule I have been conected:
MATNR->0MATERIAL,
MEINH->0UNIT,
UMREZ->0UOMZ1D,
UMREN->0UOMN1D
but I still have 0BASE_UOM not assigned ..my question is if is possible not assign the infoObject 0BASE_UOM (initial) or if I have to assign to a R/3 field..but do you know which field can I assign?
thanks in advance for your response...

Unit conversion in BEX

Hello experts,
i've a Bex query in which i use a calculated keyfigure. The values of this keyfigure are all in different units. I now want to add another column in my query that would display the values of the calculated keyfigure in first column in a single consistent unit .
Please suggest how can this be done ?
Regards,
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,
Create a formula with NODIM Data Function, which is used to apply formula for different units in key figure
example:
In formula NODIM(sold to party)
Let me know if you have any issues

Quantity Conversion in BEX using calculated KF

Hello all
Is it possible to apply a Quantity Conversion in BEX, using Restricted or Calculated Key Figure?
Im trying to apply this solution but the "conversion" tab in the key figure is disabled.
Thanks in advance for your response.

Thanks for your response..
Actually Im using BI7 and for some test, I was trying to create some calculated KF using +the same
key figure+ but different fixed target unit.
(I have already made the changes in 0material and activate the standard ODS for that)

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with NW2004s the HOW-TO GUIDE for qty conversion is obsolete.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
For more help refer SAP help file on NW2004s. It is comprehensive and even explain - How to do unit conversion in
transformation rule?

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.

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

Quantity Conversion in BEx

Friends,
I am trying to use RSUOM to convert units of measure on weight. I am having some difficulty in getting it to work and am looking for some advice.
I have 0net_wgt_dl in my cube. It is populated with KG and LB. I would like to use a conversion to change all the values to LB.
What I have done to date is created a conversion in RSUOM. I have set this to use table t006 and set the source unit to 'from data record' and the target unit to a fixed unit of LB.
In BEx I set the Unit Conversion type for 0nET_WGT_DL to my Z_LB_CONV and it pulls in the pounds as the Target Unit, but at run time, the data remains as it was without any of this.
I have tried putting breakpoints in all the UNIT_* FMs looking to see what was getting passed and it appears none of them are getting hit.
Is there something I am missing in this scenario?

Unit Conversion Using RSUOM

Hi, this i have already posted but i didnt got helpful suggestions...
plz help me to resolve this...
I am using BW7.0's feature - Quantity Conversion (TCode: RSUOM).
I am Traying to Convert all the Quentity Units to one Unit , I have followed the following Steps.
Steps :-
1)     In the BEx Tab page of Characteristic 0MATERIAL, maintained the field "Base Unit of Measure" as 0BASE_UOM
2)     In the BEx Tab page of Characteristic 0MATERIAL, maintained the field "Unit of Measure for Char." by click on the New button, it will generate a DataStore Object, which will store information for calculating the conversion factor.
3)     I have created Transformation from 0MAT_UNIT_ATTR to Generated DSO
4)     The Mapping is
MATNR ---> 0MATERIAL. ( Material )
MEINH ---> 0UNIT ( Unit of Measure )
UMREZ --- >0UOMZ1D ( Counter )
UMREN ---> 0UOMN1D ( Denominator )
MATNR -
> 0BASE_UOM ( This is Lodead through Master Data )
5)     Fill in the DataStore generated with data, using the DataSource 0MAT_UNIT_ATTR Using Transfermation and DTP.
6)     Data is Loaded Successfully AND the Data is in Active.
7)     Then I Created the Quantity Conversion Type through TCode RSUOM ( Eg: ZUOM ),
In the Conversion factor Tab , The Dynemick Determinetion of Convertion Factor Option 3 I have selected with reference to 0MATERIAL InfoObject.
8)     In UoM Tab, I have selected radio button
Source : Info Object for Determining the Unit of Measure ( 0MATERIAL and Quantity Attribute 0BASE_UOM )
Target : Fixed Unit of Measure ( CAR )
9)     Then in Query Designer , Quantity Key Figure Properties ( Eg: 0QUANT_B ) --- > In Unit
      Conversion I have selected Conversion Type ZUOM
When I execute the Query , it is not Converting the Units.
I am Trying to Convery all the units in to CAR ( Cartons )
Eg : 10 Kg = 1CAR
     1000 kg = 1 MT
Where I am missing ? what are the Radio Buttons I have to select in RSUOM
Thanks

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.

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.

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.

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 ?

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?

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.
