Documentation

Definition

Factor that the system uses to convert the quantity of the current material, measured in the base unit of measure, to the base unit quantity of the planning material.

Example

Material    Base unit of measure

Planning material    to

Current material    kg

--> Conversion factor = 0.001 because 1 kg = 0.001 to

Supplementary Documentation - VPREF 0001

Use

Procedure

Either you enter a factor or the system determines one as follows:

  1. The system checks the alternative units of measure maintained for the planning material. If an alternative unit is the same as the base unit of the current material, the conversion factor is proposed immediately. Otherwise, the system continues with point 2.
  2. The system attempts to find a conversion factor using the standard units of measure table. If it finds one, it proposes this value. Otherwise, it continues with point 3.
  3. The system proposes "1" as the conversion factor.

Examples

Material    Base unit of measure

Planning material    to

Current material    kg

--> Conversion factor = 0,001, as 1 kg = 0,001 to
