How to use MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION?

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

Is there anyone share me how to use FM MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION?

Can I use this to convert Volume to KG and vise versa?

eg. 20M3 to 20000KG; 10L to 12000KG

Thanks

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.

Hope this Helps.

Hi,

data : erfmg like affw_tab-erfm,
          matnr like affw_tab-matnr,
          yx        TYPE xfeld          VALUE 'X',
          erfme like affw_tab-erfme,
           meins like  resb-meins,
             bdmng like tmp_lresb-bdmng.

    CALL FUNCTION 'MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION'
                 EXPORTING
                      input   = affw_tab-erfmg
                      kzmeinh = yx
                      matnr   = affw_tab-matnr
                      meinh   = affw_tab-erfme
                      meins   = resb-meins
                 IMPORTING
                      output  = tmp_lresb-bdmng
                 EXCEPTIONS
                      OTHERS  = 1.
            IF sy-subrc <> 0.
              tmp_lresb-bdmng = 0.
            ENDIF.
