material unit conversion problem

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using transaction mm03 to read a material

In the DisplayBasicData1 view i can see the BAse unit of measurement

and also the alternae UOM in the dimensions box.

I need bapi/function module to convert between these material Units

I tried using

MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT but it is not giving result

eg for material 1424 chocolate -

basic unit of meaurement - PC

alternate

weight kg 28

net weight 27.9 kg

volume 0.750 M3

it is showing error in result

How can i achieve this conversion - using some bapi

or func module ?

please help me with the input fields also as i do not have much knowledge about the input fields in ABAP.

Thanks

Points assured for help

Hi

Use the fun module

UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE

CALL FUNCTION 'UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE'

EXPORTING

input = p_act_in

unit_in = p_uom_in

unit_out = w_unit_out

IMPORTING

output = w_act_out

EXCEPTIONS

conversion_not_found = 1

division_by_zero = 2

input_invalid = 3

output_invalid = 4

overflow = 5

type_invalid = 6

units_missing = 7

unit_in_not_found = 8

unit_out_not_found = 9

OTHERS = 10.

reward points if useful

Hi Anji,

EXPORTING

p_act_in 5

p_uom_in KG

w_unit_out G

It shows

Exception INPUT_INVALID

Message ID BM

Mesaage No 310

Please use an number field for the input value

Hi Anji ,

MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT is givin the output

if the data is maintained in the basicdata1 view - additional daat - uom

I/P Params,

MATNR - Material,

I_IN_ME - Alternate UoM - MEINH

I_OUT_ME - Base UoM - MEINS

I_MENGE - Quantity

O/P Params,

E_MENGE - Quantity

===============

UOM is MEINS

AUOM is MEINS

Can you tell me a bapi by which i can get these fields for any material?

Thanks
