Use
In this step, you can define units of measurement to calculate quantities and physical units for internal display and internal conversion purposes.
In the standard delivery system, units of measurement are defined according to the international system of units (SI), which is based on seven basic units of measurement. All other units are derived from these seven basic units. Units of measurement that measure the same quantity (and can therefore be converted to each other) are included in one dimension.
The SAP system holds units of measurement centrally for all applications. The conversion factors are stored in the system with a unique internal key. The external display specifications are language-specific for each unit of measurement. For each language, there should be a three-character business key and a six-character technical key.
If you intend to perform cross-company data exchange, be aware that units of measurement with company-specific characteristics may have an adverse effect.
Requirements
Standard settings
In the standard delivery system, units of measurement are defined according to the international system of units (SI).
- For initial installations, units of measurement are delivered in all clients
- For upgrades, new units of measurement are delivered only in client 000.
You must then transport these new units to your production clients.
Activities
Check that the delivered dimensions and the associated units of measurement are complete. If you are using EDI, you should also check the ISO codes.
Dimensions
On the inital screen, choose Dimensions.
- To see the definition for a dimension, select the dimension and choose Details
- To create a dimension, choose New Entries
Units of measurement

- To create a unit of measurement according to the international system of units (SI), choose Create
Here you have to make make specifications for:
- Display
- Measurement unit text
- Conversion
- This does not apply to units of measurement without dimensions.
- ALE/EDI
- This is optional.
- Application parameters
