Edit Batch-Specific Material Unit of Measure

In this step, you define which units of measurement you want to use as batch-specific material units of measure .

Example

You want to work with a material that contains an active ingredient proportion. The material's base unit is Kilogram (KG). You use kilogram of active ingredient (KGAI) as the unit of measure for the active ingredient. You enter the unit of measure (KGAI) in this table.

Requirements

Batch-specific units of measure must be given a different key from the base unit of measure, otherwise you will not be able to distinguish between batch-specific units of measure in documents such as sales orders or deliveries from the base units of measure.

Standard Settings

Further Notes

As the reference unit , choose the unit of measurement upon which the batch-specific unit of measure is based, for example, for kilogram of active ingredient (KAI), choose the reference unit kilogram (KG).

If you do not need dimension-based conversion, for example, enzyme unit (UE), you do not have to enter a reference unit.
