Documentation

Definition

The unit in which the price/rate is quoted. If you enter or import rates/prices into the system, you have to assign a unit that has been defined in Customizing to each rate/price. The units available are direct (price) quotation, percentage, inverse percentage, or point. This unit always relates a rate/price to a base unit (currency, percentage, points).

Use

Dependencies

In Customizing you have to define separate price symbols for each market data area.

Unit: EUR, direct quotation, translation ratio: 1, currency: EUR.

Stocks are quoted in pence. You have to set this up as follows:
Unit: PNY, direct quotation, translation ratio: 0.01, currency: GBP.
