- Insure that you give the correct values to the function module : Internal format of unit of measure (conversion exit CUNIT using table T006A)

- If yes, check the material via MM03, are there any conversion factors for this part and those units.

Hi Babu,

This error is because for ur material there is no conversion factors maintained for the units u r passing to the FM.

Go to MM02->Select basic data view for this material->Press Unit of measures push button in tool bar. Now check here whether the units u r passing to FM will not exist. Try to maintain appropriate conversions here n see. Ideally these things will be populated automatically when u create the material based on SPRO settings. Check with ur functional for maore details on this.

Also Declare some variables/Constants of same type as of FM for these parameters(UOMs) and pass them in Capital letters and see. This may also be the point of problem.

Thanks,

Vinod.

Hi,

You have to pass the UOM from which you are converting into i_in_me and the UOM into which u have to convert into i_out_me .

rwrd points if useful

Hi,

Do one thing just open tcode MM03, then enter your material number for which this fm is not working then press enter and select basic views, in the coming screen press CONTROL+F6 (function key F6) or Additional data. in the coming screen press on Units of measure tab. Check is there any entry with the same 'bag' and 'car'. If yes then this fm should work otherwise it wont work. And also i observed there is a double quotation in the below of your code, please remove that.

i_out_me = ''car'

Rgds,
