In this IMG activity, you define reading types.
In order for the Measurement System to display and store data, reading types must exist. Each reading in a measurement type uses a reading type to define its characteristics. A reading type stores the following information:
- Format (number, character, date, time)
- Dimension (pressure, temperature, density, time)
- Unit of measure group
- Unit of measure
- Output format
- Possible values
- Search helps
Each reading type must have at least one unit of measure group in order to establish the reading type characteristics. An entry should exist in the reading types for each customized UoM Group.
If a reading type characteristics will not change from one UoM group to another, you may create reading types with a blank UoM group and the setup will work across all UoM groups. If a populated UoM group is added to a reading type that contains a blank UoM group, the blank UoM group characteristics will become invalid.
Example
Reading type observed energy (OBS_ENERGY) has
General attributes:
Format N Numeric
Dimension ENERGY Energy
Attributes specific to UoM group NA1 (characteristics):
UoM MBD
Length 12
Requirements
Unit of measure groups are defined.
Standard settings
The PRA system is supplied with all standard reading types pre-configured.
Recommendation
Standard reading types should not be changed unless advised by SAP. Additional reading types may be added as required.
Activities
1. Choose reading type.
2. Enter a new reading type, the format, dimension (optional), and the reading type text.
3. Select the new reading type and choose reading type characteristics.
4. Enter the unit of measure group.
5. Enter all the characteristics for the reading type such as unit of measure formatting, possible values, and search helps.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional unit of measure group on this reading type.
7. Save your entries.
Further notes
If a reading will not have specific characteristics for each unit of measurement group, you may enter characteristics with a blank unit of measurement group and the reading type will be set up for all measurement groups.
Also, rounding rules may be specified on the reading type characteristics. In this case the reading type rounding rules will take precedence over any rounding rules defined for a unit of measure.
