Unit of Measure Conversion

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

We have a problem where for a material, the UoM conversion is maintained as 1000PAC = 335KG (in material master). The base UoM is KG. The MRP type is PD and externally procured material (F).

The schedule agreements are involved for procurement and while creating a schedule line with 100PAC as quantity, in MD04, it is displayed as 33.500,000. The expected value is 33,5 (thirty three and half Kilograms). So somehow it is getting multiplied 1000 times and displayed.

Can anyone throw some light on where possibly this could get deviated.

Thanks in advance,

Guru

Hi,

If you change the UoM manually in MD04 itself to PAC, what is the quantity of the schedule being shown?

Kindly update.

If it shows correct quantity in PAC, then maybe you have a different decimal notation maintained in your 'own data'.

Go to SU3 transaction and select the proper format for decimal notation that is convenient to you.

Save the setting, logout and re-login.

Best Regards,

Hello Rajan,

The su3 setting is 1.234.567,789 (3rd option in your screenshot).

And even if I give 1PAC as scheduled quantity, in MD04 , it is displayed as 335,000 (this while trying to edit directly from MD04 -> edit the line, screen goes to ME38  and created a schedule quantity of 1PAC).

So still the problem persists.

Thanks in advance for further suggestions.

HI,

Check the UOM conversion maintained in the material master, it should be maintained as 1.000 PAC (not 1,000 PAC) = 335 KG as per your decimal selection.

Hi Guru,

Change it to the first option in my screenshot, 1,234,567.89 and check.

In MD04, you have option to enter alternate UoM in the UoM field (it is editable).

Hello Ravi,

It is indeed maintained as 1.000 PAC = 335 KG.

Strange thing (now) is even if I maintain 1PAC = 1KG in material master UoM conversion setting, and when I create a schedule line of 1PAC, I see in MD04 as 335 KG/335 PAC. So now not sure if deviation is by factor of 335 or by 1000 and also UoM conversion setting in material master indeed has only partial effect on the result (perhaps other master data is influencing?).

Also Lot size, rounding values all initialized.
