Hi Peeps,

Can anyone explain to me the functionality of the above function module? I could hardly understand it since its mostly written in German.

Thanks a lot for all the help!

God bless you!

Hi Mark,

Function module MB_UNIT_CONVERSION is used for UOM conversion.

In ur application according to ur input material quantity & unit, it will convert the quantity & corresponding unit to ur desired unit as conversion rule is set in config.

Hi Mark,

ERFME:- Unit of entry(ur input material unit)

MENGE:- Quantity of entry(input quantity)

MEINS :- Unit of Measure(conversion factor unit)

O_ERFME:- ur desired unit

O_MENGE:- desired quantity

Reward point pls if helpfull.

Thanks Srimanta!!

For example;

If my ERFME is KG

MEINS is L

The output O_MEINS is now the new unit of measure of O_MENGE?

Which in this case is L? so If i inputted 100000KG and it outputted 200000... I would presume that its unit is L?

Please share some light. Thanks a lot!

I mean for example:

ERFME = KG

MEINS = L

MENGE = 100000

O_ERFME = KG

O_ERFMG = 50000

O_MEINS = L

O_MENGE = 100000

Please interpret what it means... thanks a lot!

Hi Mark,

As for an example.

MENGE = 100

ERFME = KG

MEINS KG (conversion factor setting from config)

where 1KG = 2L

O_MENGE = 200

O_ERFME = L

O_MEINS L where 1L = 1/2 KG

Thanks Srimanta!

You're saying that the outcome of the conversion would depend on the configuarion set by the functional peeps?

Even though we're using an SAP standard FM? Thanks!

Hi,

Is it always constant that the factor is laways 1/2? thanks!
