Errors converting quantities
Help Document

Diagnosis

You have maintained data for a variable-size item. Your entry results in a quantity calculation.

All quantity calculations in BOMs are executed in the SI unit. For this reason, all quantities must be converted to SI units.

Depending on the entry, conversions between different units of measurement are necessary, either within a dimension or between different dimensions. In this case, conversion can only be carried out via the conversion factors recorded in the material master.

If the corresponding size units are not supported or the conversion factors are not maintained in the material master, no conversion is possible.

Example 1:

Size 1 100

Size 2 2

Size unit SQCM

Var-size part unit SQM

As the units of measure QCM and QM have the same dimension (area), QCM can be converted to QM.

Example 2:

Size 1 100

Size 2 2

Size unit CM

Var-size part unit PC

The units of measure have different dimensions.
(QCM --> area; ST --> no dimension).

In this case, conversion is only possible if conversion factors are stored in the material master.

Procedure

Check your entries.
