Batch-Specific Material Units of Measure
You need this section if you want to work
with
batch-specific material units of measure.
Example
A fruit juice contains vitamin C.
- When entering a goods movement, you enter the physical quantity of the fruit juice in liters.
- The vitamin C quantity should be displayed in milligrams.
- You want to specify the vitamin C content as the batch characteristic in milligrams of vitamin C per liter.
Activities
1. Step 
Check Units of Measurement
The table must contain the required units of measurement:
Check Units of Measurement The table must contain the required units of measurement:
- Unit of measurement for the physical quantity
(base quantity), for example, liters
- Unit of measurement for the proportion/product
qty, for example, milligrams of vitamin C
- Unit of measurement for the ratio of
proportion/product quantity to the base quantity, for example, milligrams of
vitamin C per liter
Unit of measurement for the ratio of base quantity to proportion/product quantity, for example, kilograms per piece
- For product units, you define rounding after the decimal point. When the system is running, the program checks against this value. If the values calculated after the decimal point are different from this value, the program automatically rounds them up or down.
