Dimensions / ISO codes / Unit of measurement
In applications you often have to make calculations with quantities and physical units. Units of measurement are needed for their screen display and for internal conversions (such as kilogram <-> gram, but also centimeter <-> inch). The international system of units (SI) is used for this.
The international system of units is based on seven basic units of measurement. All other units are derived from these basic units. Units of measurement that measure the same quantity (and can therefore be converted into each other) are included in a dimension.
Units of measurement are held centrally in the SAP System for all applications. The conversion factors are stored in the system with a unique internal key. The external display specifications are maintained for each unit of measurement language-dependently. A business key (3 characters) and a technical key (6 characters) should be maintained for each language.
Example
Requirements
Standard settings
In the standard delivery system, units of measurement are defined according to the international system of units (SI).
For a new installation, units of measurement are delivered in all clients. For upgrades, new units of measuremente are delivered only in Client 000. They then still have to be transported to the production clients.
Recommendation
If you intend to perform cross-company data exchange, note that units of measurement with company-specific characteristics may have an adverse effect.
Activities
Check that the dimensions delivered and the associated units of measurements are complete.
If you are using EDI, you should also check the ISO codes.
Dimensions
- Call the maintenance transaction by double-clicking with the mouse on the Execute symbol.
- On the initial screen of the maintenance transaction, call the function Dimensions
To get a definition of a dimension, place the cursor on the dimension and choose the function Details. - If required, create new dimensions with the function New entries.
Units of measurement
- Call the maintenance transaction by double-clicking with the mouse on "Execute", or press F3 to leave dimension maintenance and return to the initial screen of the maintenance transaction.
- Select - from F4 Help for the field next to the Units of Measurement function - the individiual dimensions, and choose the Units of Measurement function.
To get a definition of a unit of measurement, position the cursor on the unit of measurement and choose the function Details.
- If required, define new units of measurement according to the international system of units (SI) with the menu function Unit of meaurement -> Create.
Here you have to make make specifications for: - Display (including a descriptive Units of measurement text)
- Conversion (not applicable to units of measurement without dimensions)
- Data exchange (EDI) (optional)
- Application parameters
ISO codes
- Call the maintenance transaction by double-clicking with the mouse on "Execute", or press F3 to leave maintenance of units of measurement or dimensions and return to the initial screen of the transaction.
- Choose the function ISO codes.
- If required, maintain new ISO codes with the function New entries.
Further notes
Additional Dimension Settings for Units of Measurement
As of Release 4.6B, you can carry out quantity conversions for natural gas. To do this, table T006D has been enhanced to include new indicator fields for dimensions.
As of SAP Oil & Gas 4.72, the enhancements made to table T006D have been removed. The new table T006D_OIB now contains these settings. The XPRA ROIBXUOM_R3E has been executed to include the correct entries in table T006D_OIB, based on the existing entries in the SAP System you operated before SAP Oil & Gas 4.72.
In this IMG activity, you can activate additional fields (combustion-specific parameters) for a certain dimension.
