Unit conversions

with NW2004s the HOW-TO GUIDE for qty conversion is obsolete.

As of SAP NetWeaver 2004s you can create quantity conversion types using transaction RSUOM.

The business transaction rules of the conversion are established in the quantity conversion type. The conversion type is a combination of different parameters (conversion factors, source and target units of measure) that determine how the

conversion is performed.

In terms of functionality, quantity conversion is structured similarly to currency translation.

Quantity conversion allows you to convert key figures with units that have different units of measure in the source system into a uniform unit of measure in the BI system when you update them into InfoCubes

It is entered in ODS table linked to info object (0material)

What you need to do basically is-

1 ) Goto your infoobject for eg- 0material

2 ) In Info object Maintenance- Tab page- Bex Explorer

3 ) Enter 0BASE_UOM in Base unit of measure

4 ) Generate UOM ODS (System generates it with prefix UOM)

It is made of 4 fields (1 more in case of compounding) with SID for them. This is the place where you enter numerator and

denominator to calculate conversion factor

5 ) Load the UOM ODS with conversion from 0MAT_UNIT_ATTR or flat file

6 ) Define conversion type

7 ) In the conversion type, then you can select 0Material in the dynamic determination of conversion factor

8 ) Select source unit and target unit

For more help refer SAP help file on NW2004s. It is comprehensive and even explain - How to do unit conversion in

transformation rule?
