SAP Note 25583 - Line items: Totalling quantities

Symptom:

The system can display the Quantity (MENGE) and Unit of measure (MEINS) fields (from BSEG) in the line item display, but it does not total the quantities.

Cause and prerequisites

Not programmed

Solution
There is no solution available at the present for the releases mentioned below.

Simply including MENGE in the internal totals tables would lead to the addition of quantities with different units. The automatic formation of blocks for different document currencies would not work if you wanted to look at total quantities and an automatic formation of blocks for different units of measure would not work if the fields are not contained at all in the current variants.

As of Release 4.6B quantities are totaled using the correct units.
