Material Master Conversion

Former Member — Fri, 03 Feb 2006 06:34:25 GMT

Hi,

I am using a Bapi 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA' for Material Master Conversion. Here I am passing the values which includes Basic unit of measure as "TDR" and Alt. unit of measure as "TWE" along with conversion factor X as "10" and Y as "1". But the Bapi is giving an error: "The alternative unit of measure is the same as the base unit of measure".

But When I am doing the same with MM01 transaction. It is working fine.

Can you please help me for this?? It's an urgent requirement??

Regards,

Gulzar.

Hi,

Have you checked whether the conversion is required before passing the Units to BAPI...

Try this

CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_INPUT

CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT

Hi Gulzar!

Try to use the iso-code fields (BASE_UOM_ISO, ALT_UNIT_ISO) for units. They have to be unique and not language dependent. Sometimes this is a problem, but with iso-code no confusion of SAP is possible.

Maybe this helps - in general it has to be possible (like your manual test showed).

Regards,

Christian

Hello Gulzar,

have a look at the SAP Note 739090. This is a program correction which might help you.
