| assignment unit (PPM-PFM) |
A unit of measurement used to calculate quantities and physical units for internal display and internal conversion purposes.
In the standard delivery system, units of measurement are defined according to the international system of units (SI), which is based on seven basic units. All other units are derived from these seven basic units. Units of measurement that measure the same quantity (and can therefore be converted to each other) are included in one dimension.
The SAP system holds units of measurement centrally for all applications.
