Is there a function module or a way to convert material quantities from one unit of measure to another?

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks. But my understanding is that unless we maintain the UOM to which we want to convert the material quantity as alternate UOM, we can not use these function modules to do the conversion.

For example if I want to convert material XXXX from CS (Cases) to TS (thousands), I believe TS should be defined as alternate UOM for this material in the material master.

Am I right?

Thanks,

Yes, absolutly, this data must be maintain in the material master. The reason is that a CS(case) for one material maybe 24, but for another it maybe 30, so each the conversions must be defined in the material master.
