Unit conversion function module

Former Member — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 14:49:40 GMT

I have a requirement in which I have to convert unit of measurement such as Cases,Item,Pallets,Box into KG? Do we have a standard function module for it??

Is there any other way in which I canconvert this unit of measurements into unit of weight?

(FAQ)

- For conversion depending on material reference (eg. quantity ws weight,or number of vs length) -> FM like MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT

- For other conversions (same dimension) -> FM like UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE

- This module is RFC enabled, and there should exist a RFC destination in your BW syste with your ECC system as target.

- Else the conversion factor for material should have been loaded into 0MAT_UNIT.

PS: Using search tool, found Unit Conversion in BI-7.0.

No, else you will have to import the database behind (material and unit master data)
