Documentation
Definition
ISO code for measurement units. An ISO code can be assigned to several internal measurement units of a dimension.
Use
The ISO code is important for EDI. It is used to convert the internal SAP measurement units into standard measurement units. Data exchange via EDI requires internal measurement units to be converted into standard measurement units.
A list of the current internationally agreed ISO codes can be ordered from the UN commission responsible (WP.4 Trade Facilitation Recommendations, Recommendation 20):
