Convert UOM to Cubic feet

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a requirement wherein I have to populate a volume field in IDoc segment(E1EDL24-VOLUM) from LIPS-VOLUM.

My requirement is the unit of measure(UOM) here should be cubic feet. If it is not in cubic feet then I have to change it to Cubic feet.

Can someone let me know how to do this. Is there a function module which can do this conversion or any other method to achieve this. Please advice.

I_UNIT_SOURCE: CD3 (LIPS-VOLEH)

I_UNIT_TARGET: FT3

I_QUANTITY_SOURCE: 253.000 (LIPS-VOLUM)

OUTPUT

E_QUANTITY_TARGET: 8.935

Hi,

Check with the Function Module "MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION" and also try to get the Unit Conversion Function Module names through SE37 by taking the F4 help for unit conversion. You will find lot of Function Modules.

Hi,

Use FM 'MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT' for quantity conversion

If the quantity conversion factor is not maintained for a particular material then the FM give the error message.

Maintain conversion factors as below :

choose Accounting -Production Sharing Accounting - Basic Settings - Volume Conversion Factors
