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.
