Definition

Unit of measure to be used for this material in the warehouse.

Use

In the material master record you can define different units of measure for each material. In a business environment, for example, in the warehouse, only one unit of measure is used per material so that the user does not need to specify a unit for the quantities.

The defaults you define determine which unit of measure the system will propose if a user does not enter a unit of measure together with the material quantity. Initially, the system attempts to use the unit of measure defined in the material master record. If none is available in the material master, the system attempts to assign one of the defaults from the warehouse number record. If these defaults have not been maintained, the system uses the base unit of measure.
