Decimal in Unit of Measure conversion

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I want to enter decimals in Unit of Measure conversion. System is giving the error that "Decimal not permitted". Actually the scenario is we have a material with KG as a base unit of measure. The ordering unit is "L" litre and the conversion factor is:

1 Litre = 0.792 KG

But when I am going to enter the conversion the system is not allowing to enter decimal. What I need to do in the configuration to enable the decimal entry.

Earliest response will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Dear KK

I have entered 3 in Decimal Places (Display) and 3 in Decimal pl. rounding (Conversion), but system is still not accepting the decimal in MM02--> Additional Data --> Unit of Measure

Any other suggestions.

Thanks

SAP will never accept decimals in this screen.

Thanks

I have entered 1000 Litre = 792 Kg, but when I order 1Kg, system is converting it into 12.62 Litres.

Thanks

if 792 kg equal to 1000 ltr,

then 1 kg equals to 1,263 ltr.

when do you see this "conversion" to 12,62 litres? in ME21N after you entered 1 KG?

if yes, then your order unit is probably set to liter, further check if you have a rounding profile in material master or info record, that causes the switch from 1,26 to 12,62

Normally for in unit conversion, the fields never accept decimal places. For any kind of conversion, you have to maintain Numerator and denominator without decimal places.

Hello

Try with 1000 Litre = 792 KG

[former_member1118313]

Can you please guide me how do I maintain 1000 Litre = 792 Kgs in the master data

[former_member225662]

HI,

Ensure that you allow decimals for the UOM Kg in CUNI it should allow this conversion you are referring to. You should put decimal places for both display and conversion

Select Goto - detials - Enter decimals in Decimal places

This parameter determines the number of decimal places with which this measurement unit is displayed.

Regards

KK
