Size unit

Definition

Unit of measure for sizes 1 to 3.

Procedure

Please note:

If you do not enter a unit of measure for the size, the system enters the default unit stored in the IMG for BOMs under Control data.

Dependencies

The size unit and variable-size item unit are interdependent.

Example:

Variable-size item data for a metal sheet
-----------------------------------------

Size Dimension Entry
1 Length 200
2 Width 300

Size unit for variable-size item: MM

If you do not enter a formula, the system uses the standard formula: Size 1 * Size 2 (result -> area).

= 200 MM * 300 MM
= 60,000 MM2

Either the variable-size item unit must have the dimension area (MM2, CM2, M2, and so on), or conversion factors must be maintained in the material master.
