Hi,

This is used to convert the quantity from one unit to other. All these units(Source and target) must be specified in the material master(U can check in MM03).

Sample code

  DATA:
    LD_MENGE_IN        LIKE ACCIT-MENGE,
    LD_MENGE_OUT       LIKE ACCIT-MENGE,
    LD_FACTOR          TYPE I VALUE 1.

  LD_MENGE_IN = ABS( I_MENGE_IN ).
  CLEAR E_MENGE_OUT.
  LD_FACTOR = SIGN( I_MENGE_IN ).
  CALL FUNCTION 'MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT'
       EXPORTING
            I_MATNR  = I_MATNR
            I_IN_ME  = I_MEINH_IN
            I_OUT_ME = I_MEINH_OUT
            I_MENGE  = LD_MENGE_IN
       IMPORTING
            E_MENGE  = LD_MENGE_OUT
       EXCEPTIONS
            OTHERS   = 4.
  E_SUBRC = SY-SUBRC.
  IF E_SUBRC IS INITIAL.
    E_MENGE_OUT = LD_MENGE_OUT * LD_FACTOR.
  ENDIF.

Thanks,

Vinod.

Hi Shirish.

This is a function module for conversion of a material unit.

I would like to suggest you a couple of references relating to your case,

Hope that's usefull.

Good Luck & Regards.
