Formula key

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 only enter 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 Measure).
