Troy Ounce UOM Conversion

[Former Member]

A troy ounce is equal to .0311034768 KGs. SAP will only go out 13 decimals. What should the numerator and denominator be (must be a whole number not greater then 5 places) to get the appropriate precision?

Hi there,

I am not sure what level of accuracy you are hoping to get to, but when you are setting up the conversion rate, you can put the numerator and denominator as 100,000,000 and 3,110,347. This will give you conversion accurate to 11 decimal places, agin not sure if thats sufficient or not.

Thanks

Hi,

As per the understanding:

Make the settings as below:

10000 troy ounce = 311.0347680000000 Kgs

or

50000 troy ounce = 15551738.4000000000000 Kgs

This will give the precision.

Hope it helps...

Thanks!!!

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

In configuration setting CUNI you define a UOM for MASS as troy ounce. Since KG is SAP base you need to define the conversion between troy ounce and KG. This can only be represented in whole numbers not exceeding 5 places represented by a numerator and demoninator in order to get to the precision without exceeding 13 places. I am looking for what the numerator and denominator should be.

Cheers,
