Documentation
Definition
Unit of measure in which stocks of the material are managed. The system converts all the quantities you enter in other units of measure (alternative units of measure) to the base unit of measure.
Use
Procedure
You define the base unit of measure and also alternative units of measure and their conversion factors in the material master record.
Examples
Dependencies
Since all data is updated in the base unit of measure, your entry is particularly important for the conversion of alternative units of measure. A quantity in the alternative unit of measure can only be shown precisely if its value can be shown with the decimal places available. To ensure this, please note the following:
- The base unit of measure is the unit satisfying the highest necessary requirement for precision.
- The conversion of alternative units of measure to the base unit should result in simple decimal fractions (not, for example, 1/3 = 0.333...).
Inventory Management
In Inventory Management, the base unit of measure is the same as the stockkeeping unit.
Services
Services have units of measure of their own, including the following:
- Service unit
Unit of measure at the higher item level. The precise quantities of the individual services are each at the detailed service line level.
- Blanket
Unit of measure at service line level for services to be provided once only, and for which no precise quantities can or are to be specified.

Use (Asset Accounting)
A quantity update is made during posting, according to the debit/credit indicator for the transaction, for assets for which a base unit of measure is created.
The quantity management of assets is of particular significance for low-value assets. If a receipt posting is made to a collective asset for low-value assets, the system checks that the maximum limit of the amount for low-value assets is not exceeded per base unit of measure. The acquisition costs and production costs of the asset, plus the total of the amounts posted from the current document are divided by the total quantity, and the average value thus determined is compared with the maximum limit that has been defined.

Use Asset Management
Enter a unit of measure in this field if the system should manage the asset using quantity management.
