Unit of Measure Conversions.

Hi All, I have Unit of Measure Conversion requirement in my reports, I would like to create a variable and user has an option to choose the Target UoM.
For this I have referred RSUOM T-Code and got an option to create Target UoM Variable (Specifying Target UoM using a variable) but here my proble is, have to do conversion across dimensions as below.
Unit of Measure conversions that I have across dimensions (all conversions both ways):
tonne to kilotonne
1000 GJoule to Million GJoule
kilotonne to Million tonne
tonne to Million tonne
kilogram to tonne
tonne to barrel
kg to liter (spill)
tonne to gallon
Could anyone tell me, is it possible to do conversion Across dimensions? (i.e Mass to Volume), if itu2019s possible where we need to maintain the conversion values.
I am not able to see any table which holds the values of Unit of Measure, I saw T006 but could not able tofind any info.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Kalyan,
To convert from kg to litres you need material specific information like relative density .
It can not be done with common values in UOM-conversions.
e.g. the relative density for lead (11.35 kg/ litre) is different from the relative density for water (1 kg/litre)
1 tonne = 1000 kgs for every material.

Report on material code, description and all unit of measure conversions

report on material code, description and all unit of measure conversions ?
any ideas?

Material Number MATNR
with this key and SPRAS (the desired Language key)
from MAKT you can get the descriptions..
and with MATNR from MARM you can get alternative UOM and the conversion rates.
If you need help on MARM how to get the conversions please notify.
Hope it helped

Unit of measure conversion for CIN is not relevant for pricing

During creation of Ad item type order, when we enter the planned ad size e.g. A CO (Columns) x B IN (Inches), the system is showing a message "Unit of measure conversion for CIN is not relevant for pricing" and pricing is not determined in the Billing Data Set. However if the planned ad size is maintained as A CO (Columns) x B MM (Millimeters), there is no impact to pricing conditions.
Any light how to fix this issue?
Thanks,
Suseela. V

Dear Suseela,
You need to maintain Unit of conversion using transaction code JH51. You have to follow the path Logistics-Advertising Management-Master Data-Conditions-Order/Billing Document-UM for Pricing.
Here you can maintain combination using Booking Unit, Content Component, Design type and assign Unit of Measure to get relevant pricing into billing set conditions.
Hope it will help. Thanks!

Error in units of measurement conversion "BOM"

hello gurus gudmorning everybody
i have problem in project regarding the units   of measurement conversion BOM
this is the scenario: 1000 ft2( BASE UNIT MEASUREMENT) = 1ea (    SALES UNIT) ( 2bed room flat) it is a higher level item
sub items are in EA base unit measurement ex: like one sofa one air conditioner etc instead of taking sale unit measurement of higher level item , its taking base unit mesurement of higher level item , .i.e instead of taking 1EA 2bhk = 1AC, 1 SOFA,   but is calculating 1000ft2( 2bhk)   = 1000ac, 1000sofa , plz help out to rectify the conversion
thank you in advance
venkat

Dear Venkat,
Try with this
Please maintain the alternative unit of measure in sub itemes master data at Additional tab like this
in AC master data 1EA = 1AC and 1AC = 1EA 2BHK
in Sofa master data 1EA = 1 Sofa and 1Sofa = 1EA 2BHK
Now you try
I hope this will help you,

Decimal in Unit of Measure conversion

Hi Gurus,
I want to enter decimals in Unit of Measure conversion. System is giving the error that "Decimal not permitted". Actually the scenario is we have a material with KG as a base unit of measure. The ordering unit is "L" litre and the conversion factor is:
1 Litre = 0.792 KG
But when I am going to enter the conversion the system is not allowing to enter decimal. What I need to do in the configuration to enable the decimal entry.
Earliest response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

if 792 kg equal to 1000 ltr,
then 1 kg equals to 1,263 ltr.
when do you see this "conversion" to 12,62 litres? in ME21N after you entered 1 KG?
if yes, then your order unit is probably set to liter, further check if you have a rounding profile in material master or info record, that causes the switch from 1,26 to 12,62

Routing - decimal places for unit of measure conversion quantity

Hello all,
in the change routing screen in SAP (CA02), when going to a operation detail screen, a unit of measure conversation value can be defined. A value for header and operation can be made.
Currently we cannot set any decimal values for operations, I get the error message: "decimal places are not permitted."
Where in customizing can I change that?
Thanks
Anne

Hello,
thanks for the answers.
The UoM is LB.
I've already checked CUNI, but I can not find LB..?
Also I've noticed other places in SAP, for example the base quantity of some operations in the routing have a numbers with 3 decimal places and the same UoM LB, so this looks like the UoM is setup fine, maybe there are just problems with this special screen?
Thanks
Anne

Routing unit of measure conversion

Dear guru ,
I have a different unit of measure for one operation of my routing.
Which is the problem if I maintain relation 1 to 1 in the routing unit of measure conversion ?
Thanks.

Dear ,
One operation of my routing have a different unit of measure (EA for operation , KG for routing).
I don't know the exact conversion factor between operation and routing.
This factor is only known after the confermation of the production order.
Which problem occurs if i maintain relation 1 to 1 (numerator and denominator) in the routing unit of measure conversion.
Thanks.

Component material costing (Unit of Measure conversion) is not working at S

Hi,
Unit of Measure conversion factor (Value) is not working for component materials at Sales order level costing, but the same conversion factor is working fine at Standard cost estimation level.
Example:
Conversion Factor for Raw materials (Procurement in Tones, Consumption in Each)
1 Ton (Rs.1000) = 10 Each (per Each u2013 Rs.100)
For Manufacturing of 1 pc FG is required 1 each Raw material
Issue: At sales Order level - Raw material costing is calculated at u201CTonu201D price u2013 Rs.1000 instead of u201CEachu201D price u2013 Rs.100.
Regards
Nagesh

Hi,
Pricing (unit conversion) is done different for MM and SD process.
MM has decided to use the old process which determines the values out of T006. There you have the conversion factors which are used in PO. If you create a sales order or billing document the determination will be different as the material master will be read.

Automatically pick material master unit of measure conversion to routing

I maintain finish goods conversion factor in material master u201CAdditional Data: Unit of measureu201D as M to KG and basic unit of measure for finish good in material master is in KG.
I attached multiple operations for the finish goods material in routing.
Some operations base unit of measure is M and others its KG.
I want to pick material master unit of measure conversion automatically when Iu2019m creating routing for the finish good material in ca01. (Unit of measure conversion for header and operation of the operation)
Can anyone letme know the SAP configuration for this.

Hi!,
Please expalin about the purpose of this requirement, because when you will create a order using that routing, at that time system will definately do the unit conversion automatically.

Unit of measure conversion during backflushing

Dear All,
The BUOM for one component in our industry is in KG whereas in Bom it is defined in G(grams) due to very low consumption qty & I have maintained conversion in material master additional data tab already but on backflushing the system is putting this item in COGI such as .350g(which becomes .00035KG in base unit because as per std only 3 decimal places are allowed in BOM ) so the error text qty in stock keeping unit is zero in COGI is generating & the system is not posting this qty in consumption pls. help to resolve this because i can not change my base unit from KG to G.
Regards
Rakesh Sehgal

Hi Sehgal,
As the KG and Grams belong to same Unit, you need not maintain the alternate unit of measure in Material Master, additional tab screen.
Only thing which is required to maintain is In Basic View maintain the BUOM as "KG" anh in Work scheduling view maintain the Issue Unit as "G". and Also in BOM you maintain the UOM as "G".
Your issue will be resolved.
Do the above and check and let us know

Unit of measurement conversion 1 role to ___ CM

Hi,
again a question regarding conversion :
i've got 1 role that equals to 250.000 cm .
base unit of measurement is CM and it can't be changed.
0.00001 to 25 is als o not possible.
I know there are lots of threads on this topic but i can't find a solution for this one
with regards

Hi,
Please check your order unit in your PO & if it is in cm then you create GRN in CM only.
OR still you have to raise the PO then create one duplicate mat code with unit of measurement Meter or ROL.
In conversion you can define upto 25000 only not 250000.
Better you place the order in cm or make conversion for meter.

Basic unit of measure conversion

If one PAC needs to contain 10 units, what should the conversion table look like in the "additional data" screen of MM02?

hi,
If one PAC needs to contain 10 units:
conversion table look like:
X AUN Measurement unit text <= Y BUN measurement unit text
1 PAC Pack <= 10 (ST) Units
and
if for the material you maintained ( BUN) basic unit of measure as ST -- units, then one pacK = 10 units. if you maintained in KG then one pacK = 10 kgs.
hope this may help you,
Regards,
Srinivas

Unit Of Measure Conversion in the SNP Planning Book

I have a problem in (a copy of ) the standard SNP Planning Book 9ASNP94.
I often need to view data in different units of measure however, but would like to avoid having to set up multiple Planning Areas. I know how to change the Unit Of Measure on my User Settings and for specific Selection IDs however, the conversions only ever work for a single Location/Product combination. As soon as I select 2 Products, the Key Figures all revert back to the Planning Area UoM.
Is there anyway round this or do I have to create new Planning Areas? If so, what are the issues in running multiple Planning Areas - does this cause performance problems?

Hi
My feeling is when you do conversion on aggregated level(multiple products), if any of the product has UOM missing then you coversion fails on aggregted level.
It looks strange that UOM conversion looks fine when you do conversion on each product.
I suggest you to check whether the UOMs (that you want to convert)are updated correctly on each product on their repective location in the product master under UOM tab.

Vijaya.

Unit of measure conversion

Hello All
could you please explain me how unit of measure ( sales unit and base UOM) works and their conversions in matrial master and in purchase info record?
My scenario is this
base UOM is pc (piece)
sales unit ( KG)
while creating sales order it is taking as KG .after that PO is created auatomatically for this sales order. PO is also having KG as UOM.
After goods receipt happens and while updating confirmed quantity of schedule line in sales order it is updating in pieces.
eventhough sales unit is KG , why its converting into pieces ( waht is the need)
Points to note are the conversion in material master is 1pc= 1p and 1kg=2pc
thanks for the early reply.

Stock is managed in BUOM, so in case you have a transaction in an alternative UOM, system will convert to BUOM.
It is my opinion, that in cases a material has both non-dimentional UOM, like PC, and (numeric) ISO UOM like KG, it is better to have the ISO UOM as BUOM; the other way around may lead to unwanted rounding issues.

Alternate Unit of Measure Conversion Rule Error

We want to sell Cement by the Ton, the base unit of measure its kilograms.
But there its an error on the Material Master and the rule of conversion between Ton and Kilograms its 1 to 1.
First I try to change it then I tried to enter a new one with TNE (Metric Ton) and in both cases after I enter 1,000 on the kilogram box, SAP returns a 1 and in the bottom bar a green icon and the message: " units of measure have been verified and corrected" (translated)
Its there some menu where I can correct these conversion rules?
Thanks

Hi Carlos
We had lot of trouble with unit of measures in one of our projects.
The rule is you can't change base unit of measure untill all open objects are completed. The open objects typically are Sales Orders, production order, purchase orders, etc. If you try to chnage Base unit of measure, SAP gives you an error with list of open objects.
Second rule is it should be the smallest unit of measure if possible. For ex- you can't have base unit as Kilos and then alternate unit of measure as Grams. In this case Grams should be the smallest unit of measure.
But once all open objects are closed and Base Unit is chnaged, I have not seen any problems in the previous transactions. We have done it multiple times.
Another alternative to get out of this is, discard this material and create a new one with correct unit of measures.
Hope this helps.
Mankai
