My client wants to use MQCI conversion groups, where UoM KG, LB, TO, STO … are calculated as weights – is this possible?

Yes.
The BCS configuration template provides example MQCI conversion groups that are configured such that UoM of SAP dimension ID MASS are calculated as weights (which is also the case for SAP QCI conversion groups if the air buoyancy indicator is set).

Example – BCP template conversion group Q214:

The LB value is the weight of the 10 000 gallons of product. The configuration to achieve this requires 2 (plus 1) steps:

Step 1:

You assign the SAP Dimension IDs for weight (and mass) DIMID:

Step 2:

You assign marker function /QTYW/MQCI_WEIGHT_MASS to the MQCI model function sequence:

Step 3:

Depending on the MQCI calculation model, you need to adjust the base conversion UoM for mass and weight with the UoM of the newly assigned dimensions for mass and weight.

Finally, check that in your reading group all mass and weight UoM (for input and result parameters), which may be present in the reading group (e.g. for LPG vapor mass calculations), are correctly defined.

Important:

Such configurations have to be made by experienced QWCC, as part of your implementation project, before production start. For existing materials in production, such a configuration change can cause inconsistencies in your production data.

Note:

For natural gas, industrial gases including hydrogen, and LNG, the weight concept is not relevant – for such products, the mass is calculated.
