What is unit conversion.

what is unit conversion.

Hi satish,
You use the Unit Conversion function type to convert units of key figures into other key figures using unit relationships.
In the Source/Target Key Figure Conversion Type table, you can specify multiple conversions. For each conversion, you have to select the unit or quantity conversion type. The value in the target key figure is overwritten. This also applies when the source key figure is empty. The value of the source key figure is not changed during unit conversion. In this way the function can be executed more than once without the results changing. There is a special logic to ensure that this is the case when the source key figure and target figure are identical and the source unit of the data record is used: If there is already a value in the target unit, it is ignored if there are values in the source unit that do not have the target unit. Otherwise the value in the target unit is used.
With this function, only the unit fields can be characteristics to be changed.
With Regards,
Prafulla singh.

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with NW2004s the HOW-TO GUIDE for qty conversion is obsolete.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

transformation rule?

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...

Question about unit conversion for BAPI_PO_CREATE1...

Hello Experts,
How do we bypass/supress the unit conversion in BAPI 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1'? Because what is happening
right now is for example, I input in 88CV it will convert it to 'EA' as this is defined as the
PO unit of measure. I want the 88 CV to be as it is.
Also, I am manually populating the net price(net_price) with my own value as I do not want to get
the net price from the info record. But it comes back as 0. I populate the 'X' fields as to let you know.

This conversion takes place due to SPRO setting
ask your functional people to do that

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.

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.

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

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.
