SAP Note 619937 - Units of measurement and conversion exits

Component : Unit Management -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/619937 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues related to the display and search of units of measurement in various transactions due to conversion exits. In the case where units appear differently on screen versus how they are maintained in table T006, and where internal and external displays do not match, the discrepancies are caused by conversion exits that format the display based on logon language. Additionally, issues with finding units in transaction SE17 stems from the same conversion mechanism. The note advises against using conversion exits in SE16 for accurate database analysis and recommends deactivating the "Check conversion exits" setting for true data representation.
