Sales Order Quantity in Base unit of measure

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a requirement in which I need Sales Order quantity in base uom. However, I noticed that 2lis_11_vatim doesn't extract this figure but instead has numerator and denominator in the extractor by which we would be able to calculate it. But, I am bit reluctant to do so as it might have an issue with rounding values.

I know that there are some standard function modules in R/3 which do this conversion. Is there any such FMs in BW to do this conversion? If not, is there any other way to get the sales order quantity in base uom other than calculating it using numerator and denominator?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hello,

Generally in most of the cases we use factors only...I find it more useful and it will not have any issues with the rounding values.

Hi Ajeet,

Thanks a lot for the reply. By "factors", do you mean the numerator and denominator? There are couple of other fields which are factors( I dont have access to SAP now to provide you the technical names). Are you talking about these factors?

Hello James,

Yes, by Factor I meant numerator and denominator.

I am not sure about others but I find them the standard tool to do conversion between the units in update rules and I use them frequently..

I never used any logic for scaling factor issue and the result was never wrong as I never faced any scaling factor issue.

Thanks

Hi Ajeet,

Just to confirm, is this the formula you normally use?

Quan * N/D

Quan = Quantity to be converted

N = Numerator

D = Denominator
