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.

Material unit conversion problem

Hi,
I am using transaction mm03 to read a material
In the DisplayBasicData1 view i can see the BAse unit of measurement
and also the alternae UOM in the dimensions box.
I need bapi/function module to convert between these material Units
I tried using
MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT but it is not giving result
eg for material 1424 chocolate -
basic unit of meaurement - PC
alternate
weight kg 28
net weight 27.9 kg
volume 0.750 M3
it is showing error in result
How can i achieve this conversion - using some bapi
or func module ?
please help me with the input fields also as i do not have much knowledge about the input fields in ABAP.
Thanks
Points assured for help

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.

Conversion problem in PURCHASE ORDER

Hi all,
wrong conversion was done in Quantities/Weights tab of item overview during creation of Purchase Order,instead of putting order unit " 1 tonne = 1000kg" it was wrongly fix as "5 tonne = 4536kg", the order has been receive and issue , but during stock taking this conversion problem is giving wrong Quantity for the material in MB5B . Pls what can i do to resolve this.

Hi
If stock exists then kindly do the reverse process as below
1.Cancel material docuemt---MBST (Material document no and fiscial year)
2.Delete the P.O line items --Me22n
3.Enter the fresh line items in the same P.O
If partial stock Exists then do the Physical inventory process to adjust the Stock

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.

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.

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.

Unit Conversion in Input Ready Query

Hi Experts,
I need to do unit conversion in Input ready query. here is the requirement.
I have 3 columns in report, 'Year to Last Month', 'This Month' and 'YTD'. In this, 'This Month' is input ready. and YTD is sum of the first two collumns. I have a variables 'This Month' and 'Unit'. User may enter units either in Litres and HectoLitres. depends on the user input, i should get the values converted to corresponding units.
currently, if i use Litres, i am able to get the result in Litres, when i select in HectoLitres, i should be able to convert the values in HL. please let me know if this possible and how.
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Ali.

Units conversion about variant configuration?

my company is doing vc.we will change the material and batch.the width and length of product will be the character of batch in future,so the unit weight can not be in the material data,will be calculated in the batch.But there is the problem,the unit will only use the sale unit (such as pal)and the base unit(such as kg) in sale order and other .if we want to use the other unit such as pak,how can we do?we can not set the unit conversion,about 10 pak = 1 pal.
we must create the another material ?

Edited by: Rui Pereira on Aug 6, 2008 4:24 PM

hi ,anna:
the detail is:
we set the unit weight in material master data on addition data now,such as 1 pal=100 kg and 1 pak=10 kg.Every material has different value in width and length character.
so we can use the PAL or PAK as the unit of sale order.
In future,the width and the length will be not the character of material ,they will be the character of the batch.So the unit weight is setted in the batch.But the consultants say that we only can use one unit(PAL or PAK) and can not maintain the unit conversion.In the batch,they say only one unit can be use
and can not convert.
i think there will be some problem for our users in order operation,and want to find some way to deal with it.

How to debug file content conversion problems?

Hi,
I'm trying to debug a file content conversion problem. I'm mapping a few nodes in an IDOC to a file of fixed length fields. I'm using the "<Node A>.fieldFixedLengths", "<Node B>.fieldFixedLengths", "<Node C>.fieldFixedLengths", etc. parameters to specify the fixed length records.
However, a certain node (for e.g. Node B) is causing a problem and if it is present in the IDOC, the output file does not get created. Upon checking the XI monitor, I notice that the file gets mapped correctly and thus the problem lies when the file adapter does the file content conversion. How do I debug this because there is no descriptive error in the XI log? If this node is not present, the file gets generated fine.
Thanks,
Basant Gupta

Hi,
If your SXMB_MONI shows, success status, then go to RWB->Message Monitoring->Message display tool and then check Audit log for the analysis,
So it wil help you debug the situation.
If there is no error, then check RWB->Component Monitoring->Adapter Monitoring for you file communciation channel..

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 ?

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
