Step 2: Create Unit of Measure for characteristics. This will create DSO automatically. Specify name and InfoArea for DSO. Now this DSO will have following structure. Key Key Key <Material> (i.e InfoObject) <Compounding for InfoObject, if any> <Target Unit of measure > <Base unit of measure> <Conversion factor: Counter> <Conversion factor: Denominator>
This is system generated DSO, Key fields contain InfoObject Material (GCSMATE) and target Unit which is 0UNIT. Data fields are base unit of measure, counter and denominator for getting conversion factor.
Conversion factor is calculated as: Conversion factor = counter / denominator In order to perform UOM conversion this DSO must have data. To upload data you need to create transformation and DTP. Creating quantity conversion type: Step1: Transaction RSUOM
Step2: Write name of quantity conversion type and click create or press F5.
Step3: Give long and short description. In conversion factor tab, select the Dynamic determination of conversion factor using Reference InfoObject as specified. Also give in InfoObject name.
. Step4: In UoM Tab, source unit of measure and target unit of measure. And then SAVE. Here target unit of measure is from variable. The variable is created in query designer on characteristics 0UNIT.
Using quantity conversion type in query definition: Step 1: Open query designer and create query on InfoCube as per requirement having key figure of type quantity in order to perform quantity conversions. Step 2: In the properties for the key figure, go to the conversion tab and select the earlier defined conversion type (GCSUOMT).
Step 3: Now in order to give flexibility to select UoM create variable for target unit. Click on the target unit variable as shown.
Step4: create variable of processing type user entry. And select in target unit.
Step 5: Save and execute the query. . When query is executed the selection screen will ask for Unit of Measure. And result will in the selected unit.
