Function module CF_UT_UNIT_CONVERSION bdc_field_overflow error

[former_member208541]

Hi All,

the data type length is 13 for one of our fields. however the same is being passed onto function module CF_UT_UNIT_CONVERSION, the import parameter data type length is 9 due to which the system is giving error BCD_field_overflow error.

due to above, we are not able to create and save sales order in VA01. basically when we put too large a qty of let's say 45 lacs units, the system gives the above error. the function module is used in a Zsmartform which is called when we saves the sales order.

how to correct or is there any other FM .

Hi,

Simplest would be you always pass say Qty of 100 ( fix, irrespective of the sales order qty ) & once FM returns the qty after conversion , you can always mathematically determine what would be the converted qty for aq given sales order qty.

I hope this helps,

Regards

Hi, thanks for the response.

but where we shud check the same i.e place the code. it is a satandard function module and i think no changes can be done even through acess key.

Instead of using this FM use underlying FM from 'CF_UT_UNIT_CONVERSION'.

If you are not passing material then use UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE or MATERIAL_UNIT_CONVERSION

Hope this will resolve your problem.

Hi,

You need to find out a suitable note & apply it.

Hi,

Try this FM MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT.
