Definition

Key that represents the algorithm for calculating the variable-size item quantity.

Examples

You want to calculate the volume of a rolled sheet of metal. This has a variable length and height, but a constant width (500 MM).

The following are used in the calculation:

• SI units that are defined in Customizing
• Length: M (meters)
• Volume: M3 (cubic meters)
• In the variable-size item, you enter only the variable values (size 1 and size 2) with a unit of measure that can be derived from the SI unit of the dimension.

  Example for dimension Length: MM (milllimeters), CM (centimeters), DM (decimeters), and M (meters)

• The variable-size item formula uses the SI unit, so you must enter the constant width in the formula in the SI unit (meters).

  Example: ROMS1 * ROMS2 * 0.5 (M)

Dependencies

You can enter units of measure for calculating the variable-size item quantity with a formula. The quantity is always calculated in the SI unit of the dimension, such as M3 (cubic meters) for volume.

SI units are defined in Customizing (Dimensions for Units of Measurement).
