Definition

ISO code for units of measurement which the quantity refers to.

Use

The field is optional, but should be provided so that the quantity can be precisely identified. If ISO conversion in the SAP System is missing, the unit of measurement is passed on unconverted. This field does not require an order item for the EAN since the EAN specifies the unit of measurement.

The units of measurement with the corresponding ISO codes are maintained in Customizing under check units of measurement. If no unit of measurement is provided, the system searches for the corresponding unit of measure in the system. For each store you can enter whether the order unit or base unit of measure should be used. To do this maintain the internal interface profile.

When creating the document, a conversion is carried out into the correct unit of measure, providing the conversion relationship is defined in material maintenance.

Examples

  • KGM = kilo (SAP: KG) PCE = piece (SAP: ST)
  • 5 ST = 1 kg for material XYZ (= "yogurt 200 g" )
  • KG is the order unit

The store order is:

  • XYZ, 10 PCE => Purchase order XYZ, 2 KG
  • XYZ, 10 ST => - " - XYZ, 2 KG
  • XYZ, 10 KG => - " - XYZ, 10 KG
  • XYZ, 10 KGM => - " - XYZ, 10 KG
  • XYZ, 10 => - " - XYZ, 10 KG or 2 KG depending on Customizing.
  • XYZ, 10 abc => - " - Error => Workflow !

Dependencies

The possible units of measurement for a material are defined in the material master record maintenance.
