Dear Ramakrishna,

the reason why the system issues an error message is due to the fact that the factor to convert KG into MG is 1.000.000. This value is greater than the allowed five digits. If you enter G the factor is 1000 (= 4 digits). Therefore the conversion is possible. For further information please also refer to note 362932.

In your example you should most probably use G instead of MG.

Unfortunately there is no exit or enhancement to change this behaviour.

Regards,

Hi,

Is this a APO requirement? You need to maintain the alternative unit of measure and conversions in SAP material master.

Hi Ramakrishna,

In customisation spro transaction in APO, please use the menu path

SAP Implementation guide --- SAP netweaver --- General settings --- currencies --- check units of measurements

Under this, you maintain your UoM requirement and then try your scenario.

Please confirm
