Definition

The batch-specific material unit of measure is an alternative unit of measure of a material, for which you can define the base unit of measure on a batch-specific basis.

While the conversion ratio for other alternative units is predefined in the material, for batch-specific material units of measure, you define:

  • The planned conversion in the material
  • The actual conversion ratio to the base unit of measure for the batch

Batch-specific material units of measure are used when the conversion ratio for the unit of measure to the base unit may vary for different batches of a material.

There are two types of this particular kind of alternative unit:

  • Proportion unit

    This is a unit of measure in which you can enter proportions of the material's base unit of measure. The total quantity (or physical quantity) can consist of various proportions. For example, in addition to the fruit juice content, 100 millilitres of a given batch of fruit juice contains 30 milligrammes of vitamin C and 10.5 grammes of sugar.

  • Product unit

    This is a unit of measure that describes the total quantity of a material as an alternative to the base unit of measure. For example, one piece of a given batch weighs 10 Kilogrammes or is a pipe 1250 millimetres long.
