How to Report on Alternate Unit of Measure

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We recently implemented SAP for our Canadian operations. The Canadians want to see all our custom and standard reports in Alternate units of measure ( KG's & Ltr's ) but our reports only display in Lbs & Gal's. We were able to change our custom reports but is there any setting that SAP provides for the standard reports/transactions to display Alt UoM. We don't want to rush in and start changing standard reports. I'm sure, lot of you faced this situation before.

hi,

use the FM UNIT_CONERSION_SIMPLE

hope this helps

check this code

unit_in = itab-meins

unit_out = 'GLL'.

CALL FUNCTION 'UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE'

EXPORTING

input = itab-meins

• NO_TYPE_CHECK = 'X'

• round_sign = ' '

unit_in = unit_in

unit_out = unit_out

IMPORTING

• ADD_CONST =

• DECIMALS =

• DENOMINATOR =

• NUMERATOR =

output = factor

EXCEPTIONS

conversion_not_found = 1

division_by_zero = 2

input_invalid = 3

output_invalid = 4

overflow = 5

type_invalid = 6

units_missing = 7

unit_in_not_found = 8

unit_out_not_found = 9

OTHERS = 10.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

e_error = 1.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

try the below function modules:

<b>MC_UNIT_CONVERSION

UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE</b>

Thanks for FM's. The function modules are good for custom reports. But how about standard SAP transactions like MC.A, MC.B, MC.C and whole bunch of others which report in the base UoM.

Hi,

TCODE- CUNI. It is in the Global settings. There you define a base unit of measure and set a conversion for each other unit of measure in respect to the base unit of measure

Thanks for your answers. We have been successful in converting all our custom reports to display both Base UoM and Alt UoM but our issue is with standard SAP delivered reports ( about 10 reports in all ). They all output in GAL/LB butI want them to output in GAL/LB for US and Litres/KG for Canada.

We ended up copying and modifying standard reports.
