In the Conversion form you can define the formula for conversion
between Production UoM and Inventory UoM.
In different places the system checks the conversion formulas to calculate the factor between 2 units.
Not supported: Sales UoM, Purchase UoM, Inventory counting UoM
Please define all formulas in both access, for example kg > Pcs and Pcs > kg.
PATH: Administration > Setup > Inventory > Units of Measure > right-click an entry > Conversion 
Window basis_meumr_browse.psr
Click Open to access the Conversion formula Editing window.
PATH: Administration > Setup > Inventory > Units of Measure > right-click an entry > Conversion > "Open".
Window: basis_meumr_edit
When using extended conversion formulas:
Conversion takes place in the so-called data window syntax.
Inventory UoM is kg
Consumption is Pcs with length, height and width.
Formula:
((length * od * pi()^2) - (length * id * pi()^2) ) * density
For more information see Unit of Measures.
|
You can use properties for calculation of the factor between both units. The following properties are available:
length
width, od
height, id
|
Length, Width, Height
in Bill of material: Use information from this position
in Item master data: Use information from purchase area
Note:
The system ignore the UoM from length/widt/weight
You must use always same UoM, example mm
|
density
|
Density according to the raw material. If set in the options: The item master determines density and hence the density used is in accordance with the item master data.

Item master – specific weight
Configuration Wizard – Master data – Item – specific weight

In Variant generator, unit of measurement calculation and in other areas for formulas DataWindow-Syntax is used. This is to give a short overview of available functions. Further details see Powerbuilder-description available in the Internet.

|
Conversion Formula
|
Conversion formula between both units. Add mathematical operators or functions.
See Properties and Syntax
|
In the lower part of the screen you can see a two-way conversion calculation based on the conversion formula.
|
length, width, height, od, id,
|
Dimension defined by the item. The value is retrieved from the item master data in SAP. The value shown on the screen is only an example to allow testing.
|
Density
|
Dimension defined by the item to be used as a conversion factor. This option is used when the conversion is not fixed as, for example, kilogram to gram. In this case, we use variables. As Purchase and Sales units have a conversion factor in SAP, in Beas we can use the density variable to define a factor to convert from inventory unit to the bill of material unit.
Density can be defined using the raw material field or the specific weight field from the item master data. Only one option is available and it depends on a parameter from the Configuration wizard > Item > Spec. Weight by Item.
|
Number unit 1
|
Conversion from unit 1 to unit 2
|
Number unit 2
|
Conversion from unit 1 to unit 2
