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 ?

Overall result in Query designer displaying ' * ' for one kf when executing

Hello
I have a got a kf in which value ' * ' is getting displayed when i have done display overall results for one of my chars. Now what i am hoping is that this can be because there are too many records in the display and the total is too huge and that is the reason it is disaplying * in it. Please can somone guide me if there is some setting that can be done

Hi Tom,
This is because you have different unit or currency in the data record and you can not sum it if they are different unit/Currency therefore system is showing you *.
You can try NODIM(KF) and see if it is adding or try currency or unit conversion at query level so that all records in the query have same unit/currency.

Query Designer : Quantity Conversion as per UOM

Hi gurus,
I am facing a typical situation here. I have Product Quantity data that I fetch from R3, This has diff UOM based on different product. I know the conversion factor. I have not included the conversion factor in the transformation while loading the data. Hence in the cube, the data is loaded without any conversion.
Now, in my query, I want that the Quantity data be displayed always in say BOX (Whether at aggregate level, ex. Sales Office level or at a more granular level (product brand level)) it should always be in BOX. Can I make such a modification in my query so that the end result for quantity should always be in BOX.
thanks n regards,
Sree

Hi Sree,
You can set unit conversion for relevant key figures in the Query Designer.
For that, you need to create a quantity conversion type first.
For a BW7.x system, use transaction RSUOM to maintain quantity conversion type.
It could be defined like this:
Source unit: from data record
Target unit: fixed: BOX
Hope this helps.

Patricia

In BI Bex Query Designer output, dont want to have unit at column Heading..

Hi
I have a BI Bex Query Designer report showing output with Qty unit at Column Heading level. Even in KF's Text i didn't mention unit. I want unit to appear to column fields instead of column heading. Pls let me know how to do that.
One more thing is: i have 2 reports exactly same except due date range is different. first report showing unit for each KF at the column heading level and for 2nd report showing column fields level... Surprising. Pls let me know what is the reason and how to control it.
Thanks...

Hi Harpal,
Key figures can have scaling factors and units/currencies. Normally, units/currencies are displayed for every key figure, but not the scaling factors. If you activate the Display Scaling Factors for Key Figures, an additional header row is added to the row or column header. Information about the scaling factor and currency/unit appears in this additional header row, as long as it is consistent (for example, 1,000 EURO).
For more information, You can go through

Source Currency = SAR
Target Currency = USD
So how can i do the curerency conversion for a Formula in the query designer.
pls let me kow
kumar

Hi,
If you define your query conversion in BW then it is easy to do currency conversion through Bex.What you need to do is use calculated key figure instead formula and do a right click select properties there at the currency translation area you ca select defined currency conversion in BW and your target currency.

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 Conversion problem in query designer

Hi,
A requirement has come that infoobject which contain multiple currency type, need to convert into a single currency type in Bex reporting as user want to see only one currency value in report.
There are three keyfigures refering different calenders for conversion. For examle . GR amount is based on GR date, IR amount is based on IR date and PO amount is based on Doc date. Query is build based on a infoset.
I am doing following steps to achieve the task::
1. In TCODE - RSCUR, created three Currency Conversion Type each for GR, IR and PO and each one refering different 0calday calender
2. Defined exchange Rate Type as "M"
3. Currency Tab -> Source Currency = "Source Currency from data Record"
    Target Currency -> Fixed Target Currency = "USD"
4. Time Ref. Tab -> Fixed Time ref. = "Current Date"
    Variable time reference = "To the exact day"
    Special InfoObject = <InfoObject name>
5. In query designer, Key figure property for GR amount -> Conversion -> Conversion type = <Name of Currency Conversion Type which defined in RSCUR>
6. Repeated the same for IR Amount and PO Amount key figure
While saving, getting following error::
*Cannot apply Currency translation type <Currency type name> in Infocube <Infoset name>. *
Diagnosis
You tried to translate a query element with the currency translation type <Currency type name>. The translation type <Currency type name>, however, has variable time reference or variable target currency relevant to characteristic Document Date. Characteristic Document Date is also not available in InfoProvider <Infoset name> and it references either none or more than one characteristic () of the InfoProvider for Document Date, or Document Date is not a base characteristic.
System Response
Procedure
Adjust the query definition or create a special currency translation type for one of the characteristics .
Please help!
Please note that there are three key figures which need conversion using different calenders.
Sanjiv

Hello,
I have done the same what you said, but same error still showing....
I also tried to change from "Special InfoObject" to Infoset level and it works with one KF. Since all three KF are under one Infoset and there is limitation that if Currency Conversion Type is defined on Infoset level then only one KF will be assigned for a Infoset where as I am using three KFs with three relevant time characteristic.
Any suggesion from others?

Query Performance with Unit Conversion

Hi Experts,
Right now my Customer ask to me to do a improve in the runtime of some queries.
I detect a problem in one related to unit conversion. I execute a workbook statistics and found that the time is focusing in step conversion data.
I'm consulting all the year and is taking around 20 minuts to give us a result. I too much time. The only thing in the query is the conversion data.
How can I to improve the performance? what is the check list in this case?
thanks for you help.
Jose

Hi Jose,
You might not be able to reduce the unit conversion time here and try to apply the general query performance improvement techniques, e.g. caching the query results etc.
But there is one thing which can help you, if end user is using only one of the unit for e.g. User always execute the report in USD but the source currency is different from USD. In such cases you can create another data source and do the data conversion at the time of data loading so that in the new data source all data will be available in required currency and no conversion will happen at runtime and will improve the query performance drastically.
But above solution is not feasible if there are many currencies and report needs to be run in multiple currency frequently.

Durgesh.

Currency conversion in the query designer level

Hi
Iam calculating the 'Financial Loss' in the Formula in the query designer.And it comes in SAR(Saudi Riyals).
But i want the 'Financial Loss' in USD in the Query Designer. Because i want the USD Financial Loss to be use in some other calculation.
Please let me know how can we do this one in the query designer. I really appreciate for it .
Regards
Kumar

Dear Ravi,
Basically there are 2 ways to do it: routine & query level.
If query level, you need to maintain it first using tcode RRC1, then you use it in your KF in your query. .
Routine level,
You can create new KF in info-provider, then in the update rules routine, you can use this function to convert the currency :
CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY
Hopefully it can help you a lot.

Niel

Query performanz due to Unit Conversion

Hello,
I have the requirement to improved the performance of some queries with unit conversion. Could someone help me with How Tos or Tipps to solved this issue?
Thanks in advance
KmerSoft

Hi
Thanks for the reply. After a lot more googling- it turns out this is a general Oracle problem and is not solely related to use of the GEOMETRY column. It seems that sometimes, the Oracle optimiser makes an arbitrary decision to do bitmap conversion. No amount of hints will get it to change its mind !
One person reported a similarly negative change after table statistic collection had run.
Why changing the columns being retrieved should change the execution path, I do not know.
We have a numeric primary key which is always set to a positive value. When I added "AND primary_key_column > 0" (a pretty pointless clause) the optimiser changed the way it works and we got it working fast again.

hi chetan,
No its not work.. why because i need to convert the unit of measure in Masterdata Attribute values... that means ) ' 0grooss_wt'. this is attribute as a keyfigure of ' 0material' .. this ' 0gross_wt' values has to convert in KGs. at Present ' 0gross_wt' values are in KG and Grams...
I can change these values in update rules by writting Routine.. But I need to convert it in KGS at BEX Query Designer Level..
I need calculate like this
quantity sold * Gross Weight.
here Gross Weight is the formula variable which replacing the values of gross weight...
i tried by creating conversion types in RSUOM t-code. but it works on keyfigures of infocube.. not on attribute values of master data...
is there any solution to solve this Problem...

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.
