wat are the parameters to be passed to material_unit_conversion

[Former Member]

Hi ,

can any one tell wat is the significance of input and kzmeinh in the FM material_unit_conversiom.

i have to convert the KG into CSE ...wat are the parameters to be passed .

thanks

Hi Kiran,

See the Function Module Documentation,

This function module converts a quantity from one unit of measurement to another. A requirement for this is that the units of measurement relate to a material. One of them must be the base unit of measure of the material, while the other must be defined as an alternative unit of measure for the material or be capable of being converted to an alternative unit of measure as per table T006.

You are recommended declaring the transfer parameters for the quantities and the conversion factors as type F fields since the runtime required for conversion is substantially less than with type P or type I fields and also because the exception OVERFLOW cannot then occur.

If the transfer parameters for the conversion factors are of type P (packed number), the system assumes that you require conversion with 5-digit accuracy. If they are of type I (integer), the system assumes that you require conversion with 10-digit accuracy. (See also the documentation on transfer parameter TYPE_UMR.)

Example

DATA: MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR,

MEINS LIKE MARA-MEINS,

MEINH LIKE MARM-MEINH,

INPUT TYPE F,

OUTPUT TYPE F,

UMREN TYPE F,

UMREZ TYPE F,

KZMEINH TYPE C.

. . .

CALL FUNCTION 'MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION'

EXPORTING

INPUT = INPUT

KZMEINH = KZMEINH

MATNR = MATNR

MEINH = MEINH

MEINS = MEINS

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = OUTPUT

UMREN = UMREN

UMREZ = UMREZ

EXCEPTIONS

CONVERSION_NOT_FOUND = 01

INPUT_INVALID = 02

MATERIAL_NOT_FOUND = 03

MEINH_NOT_FOUND = 04

MEINS_MISSING = 05

OUTPUT_INVALID = 06

OVERFLOW = 07.

Thanks,

Hi

It is just an indicator whose: INPUT refers to MEINH, just leave it as space

pass the MATNR and MEINS fields compulsory and execute

HI,,

Please try this FM.

MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT

MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION

MC_UNIT_CONVERSION

UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE

using MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION is as shown

report zrich_0002.

data: input type p decimals 3 value '10.000'.

data: begin of xtmp,

menge type mseg-menge,

meins type mseg-meins,

end of xtmp.

data: imara like mara.

• Get base UOM

select single * from mara into imara

where matnr = '000000000040006541'.

• The uoms must be of the internal format, check against T006a

• do conversion

call function 'MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION'

exporting

input = input

matnr = imara-matnr

meins = 'GLL' " Must be internal

meinh = 'OZA' " Must be internal

importing

meins = xtmp-meins

output = xtmp-menge

exceptions

conversion_not_found = 01

input_invalid = 02

material_not_found = 03

meinh_not_found = 04

meins_missing = 05

no_meinh = 06

output_invalid = 07

overflow = 08.

check sy-subrc = 0.

Hi,

Check SAP's example

data: DATA: umrez TYPE f, umren TYPE f.

CALL FUNCTION 'MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION'

EXPORTING

matnr = matnr

meinh = display_unit

meins = base_unit

no_output = 'X'

IMPORTING

umrez = umrez

umren = umren

EXCEPTIONS

conversion_not_found = 1

input_invalid = 2

material_not_found = 3

meinh_not_found = 4

meins_missing = 5

no_meinh = 6

output_invalid = 7

overflow = 8

OTHERS = 9.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

umrez = umren = '1'.

ENDIF.

" Converting material quantities to different unit of measure in ABAP.

Each material in SAP has its standard, base unit of measure (stored in MARA-MEINS). To allow using alternative units, those can be maintained per material in table MARM. A common requirement for ABAPer is to convert material quantity from one unit to another, most likely from an alternative unit to the base one, to be able to summarize the report results.

To do the conversion, SAP provides the function module MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION. Its parameter names are not self-explaining, and for my own purposes I have a simple wrapper form that I use to convert quantities from alternative to base UoM. The form is using data caching technique that I described in one of my earlier posts.

form convert_to_base_uom
  using    pf_matnr     type matnr
           pf_menge_in  type gsmng
           pf_meins_in  type meins
  changing pf_menge_out type gsmng
           pf_meins_out type meins. 

* define internal table to cache the base UOM
  types: begin of lty_meins_rec,
             matnr type matnr,
             meins type meins,
           end of lty_meins_rec. 

  types:
    lty_meins_tab type hashed table of lty_meins_rec
          with unique key matnr.
  data:
    ls_wa type lty_meins_rec. 

  statics:
    lt_meins type lty_meins_tab. 

* first, find the base UOM
  clear pf_meins_out.
  read table lt_meins into ls_wa
    with table key matnr = pf_matnr.
  if sy-subrc = 0.
    pf_meins_out = ls_wa-meins.
  else.
    select single meins
      from mara
      into ls_wa-meins
      where matnr = pf_matnr.
    if sy-subrc  0.  "doesn't exist. try PC
      ls_wa-meins = 'ST'.
    endif.
    ls_wa-matnr = pf_matnr.
    pf_meins_out = ls_wa-meins.
    insert ls_wa into table lt_meins.
  endif. 

* now convert the qty
  if pf_meins_in = pf_meins_out.
    pf_menge_out = pf_menge_in.
  else.
    call function 'MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION'
         exporting
              input                = pf_menge_in
              kzmeinh              = 'X'
              matnr                = pf_matnr
              meinh                = pf_meins_in
              meins                = pf_meins_out
              type_umr             = '3'
         importing
              output               = pf_menge_out
         exceptions
              conversion_not_found = 1
              input_invalid        = 2
              material_not_found   = 3
              meinh_not_found      = 4
              meins_missing        = 5
              no_meinh             = 6
              output_invalid       = 7
              overflow             = 8
              others               = 9. 

  endif. 

endform.
