RE:[sap-log-sd] UOM Conversion LB to KG and KG to LB

Reply from Dutch on Feb 29 at 4:24 PM
Hi Ian,
The conversion factor between LB and KG is not something you can decide for yourself; this has been set in concrete since Napoleon. If you attempt to set up a UoM conversion of e.g. 3 LB equals 1 KG, SAP will correct the data automatically. The fact that e.g. a KG weighs a KG is not to be disputed and is hardcoded in the system.

Subject: UOM Conversion LB to KG and KG to LB

Hi All,

I have a client who has two plants one for country A and other for country B and they also have country specific items/products aswell. The client is integrating a division in country B.

Currently the SAP system is set up (UOM) Weight as LB and Volume FT3 (cubic foot) however they would like system to convert the items from LB to KG and Volume from FT3 to M3 (cubic meter) and also vise versa KG to LB (M3 to FT3).

I also would like to know does UOM has anything to do with Sales Doc Type and are we able change the total weight & volume manually during the creation of a sales order?

The same sales order can contain both countries lines items, is it possible that system will do the convesion on line item bases currently it is converting as per plant number.

Thanks in advance experts.
