Sqaure feet UOM with decimals

[Former Member]

Dear All,

In our business scenario, we are selling apartments. In the product/material master we would like to maintain following measurements of area against each apartment(material):

935.77 FT2

1565.35 FT2

10000.52 FT2

We sell the apartment using the UOM 'EA'. Currently we round off the Area of Apartment and use as

936 FT2 = 1 EA.( Actual area 935.77).

Can anyone suggest what conversion factors need to be adopted inorder to have the decimals.

Hi Rasheed,

Casaba is absolutely right. You can maintain it with multiple of 100.It will solve your problem

Hi Rasheed,

1 ft = 0,3048 m > 1 ft2 = 0,092903 m2

127 * 10566,33 = 866484,1 ft2 = 80499 m2

You can define:

80 499 m2 = 127 EA

(I don't know whether SAP knows the rate ft / m - you should check it)

Hi,

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/12/3bb7c2504811d182c20000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

That's why I think you can use only 5 digit for fields X & Y on the Unit of measure screen.

If you want to define a number as rate more than of 5 digit I guess you shoul define it as result of a division.

10566,33 ft2 is 10566 ft2 + 1/3 ft2 I suspect.

3* (10566 + 1/3) ft2 = 31 699 ft2 >> this is a number of 5 digit, you can use it for the definition (31 699 ft2 = 3 EA).

I haven't got better idea.

Hello Rasheed,

Please try:

93 577 FT2 = 100 EA or something similar.

Hi Csaba,

That will work only for my first scenario. For values greater than that how do I handle.
