Summary :
This SAP Note addresses rounding issues encountered with different product units of measure in the SAP System. It outlines the necessity of using a proper conversion factor when converting between alternative units and the base unit of measure, which is primarily used for inventory management. Specifically, the note details how quantities entered in units other than the base are converted using a defined conversion factor expressed as a quotient of integers. Methods to ensure accurate conversion, handling of decimal fractions, and the limitations of numerator and denominator sizes are discussed. Additionally, using the CONVERT_TO_FRACT5 ABAP function aids in achieving precise conversions. The note also advises on the selection criteria for an appropriate base unit of measure to avoid practical problems related to large quantity and value representations.
