Weight Conversion

Former Member — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 05:11:35 GMT

Hi All,

I am developing a report to display the weight of delivery items in KG.

I have Gross Weight and Net Weight, which may or may not be in KG in the table.

But I need to display the output in terms of KG.

Please help me on how to go with it.

There is a function module MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION but I dont know what exact parameters to pass.

Please help me with an example.

Thanks.

Hi,

Use the fun module

UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE or

MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT

see the sample code:

CALL FUNCTION 'UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE'

EXPORTING

INPUT = p_act_in

UNIT_IN = p_uom_in

UNIT_OUT = w_unit_out

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = w_act_out

EXCEPTIONS

CONVERSION_NOT_FOUND = 1

DIVISION_BY_ZERO = 2

INPUT_INVALID = 3

OUTPUT_INVALID = 4

OVERFLOW = 5

TYPE_INVALID = 6

UNITS_MISSING = 7

UNIT_IN_NOT_FOUND = 8

UNIT_OUT_NOT_FOUND = 9

OTHERS = 10.

reward points if useful

regards,

Anji

Please try this FM.

MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT

MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION

MC_UNIT_CONVERSION

UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE

using MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION is as shown

report zrich_0002.

data: input type p decimals 3 value '10.000'.

data: begin of xtmp,

menge type mseg-menge,

meins type mseg-meins,

end of xtmp.

data: imara like mara.

Get base UOM

select single * from mara into imara

where matnr = '000000000040006541'.

The uoms must be of the internal format, check against T006a

do conversion

call function 'MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION'

exporting

input = input

matnr = imara-matnr

meins = 'GLL' " Must be internal

meinh = 'OZA' " Must be internal

importing

meins = xtmp-meins

output = xtmp-menge

exceptions

conversion_not_found = 01

input_invalid = 02

material_not_found = 03

meinh_not_found = 04

meins_missing = 05

no_meinh = 06

output_invalid = 07

overflow = 08.

check sy-subrc = 0.

Anitha,

First of all, check whether that weight is stored in Grs or in KGs, if it is in KG, u can proceed, if it is in Grs, convert it into Kg and procced with further calculations.

I think this hint vl help u.

Sujatha.

Yes .MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION can convert the Matrial Unit into desired conversions.

To know how to use this properly or what's the parameters have to pass

try to see the Where Used List of the Function Module.

You can know in better way.
