Quantity conversion Custom Charactrestic using a reference Infoobject

[radek_mlynczak]

Hi All,

At the beginning I want to mention that i followed conversion guide:

1. Quantity Conversion Guide for SAP Business Intelligence

2. Reporting Data in Alternate Unit of Measure in BI 7.0

System:

SAP BW 7.30 SP10

The steps which I performed.

1. Creation of Characteristic (custom compounding) with 0BASE_UNIT and reference DSO

and include 0BASE_UNIT as attribute:

2. Loading data to DSO and attributes of characteristic (for Product 17 i 18):

     Characteristic:

    

     DSO:

    

3.Create KF with Unit / Currency 0BASE_UOM

4. Create Quantity Conversion Type:

5. Reporting varaiable:

6. And the result when executing query:

I don`t get the point why the conversion is not possible when the conversion factors exists in DSO for PAL.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hi All,

The reason for the issue was expert routine issue. If you create it between object and Unit Conversion DSO SID are not created.

I implemented note:

2030078 - 730SP13: SID fields of a unit DSO not updated

but without results.

In my case I did workaround and went back to standard transformation with start and end routine and it SID table is filled.

Best,

Radek

Hi All,

Additionally when there is no conversion factor in the DSO, I am facing the error:

Termination message sent ABEND RSUOM (003): System error in program CL_RSUOM_UOMT_RUNITME and form [...]

What I remember from previous versions, If factor was not found, only warning message occurs during report execution and conversion was not executed for particular rows.

Any input?

Thank you,

Radek

Hi Radek,

I've never tried conversion with a base compounded characteristic.

Do the query works on previous versions?, I mean, do you recently update to SAP BW 730 SP10? or is the first time you try quantity conversion?

Searching OSS there is one recently released note with respect to UOM conversion

Hi Miguel,

Thanks for the note. The error message has been resolved. Unfortunately still conversion is not possible, even all objects are maintained correctly.

Best,

Radek
