I have a requirement like i want to change the material value from one unit to other.

Example: i have 123 material value in KG 1200 and i want to convert the value to Grams.

Can you please let me know is there any function module?

I have tried different functin modules but none of them are giving correct result.

Regards,

Srinath

You can use function module "MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT"

CALL FUNCTION 'MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT'

EXPORTING

I_MATNR = I_MATNR "Material number

I_IN_ME = I_MEINH_IN "Input unit

I_OUT_ME = I_MEINH_OUT "Output unit

I_MENGE = LD_MENGE_IN "Inout quantity

IMPORTING

E_MENGE = LD_MENGE_OUT "Output quantity

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 4.

UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE should fulfil you requirement. You could also look at the sample at [To convert the Unit of Measure to alternate UOM |http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/ToconverttheUnitofMeasuretoalternateUOM] (or use the search tool at SDN. )

Hi Srinath,

Check Table MARM, here cobversions will get stored with its conversion factor. I used this table for a similar requirement.

Thanks & Regards,

Rock.
