Transfer of UoM and Dimensions

This function enables the transfer of data for UoMs and dimensions from SAP ERP to SAP OEE Management to create and update corresponding records in SAP OEE database tables in SAP MII.

Integration

UoM in which data is reported from the shop floor can be material dependent or independent.

UoM for a material can be reported in the base unit, alternate units, or UoMs of the same dimension as that of the base UoM. For a particular dimension, the UoM can be maintained in different units.

When the operator reports good quantity of a material, the reported UoM is converted to the UoM in which the standard rate for that material is defined. The conversion factor is obtained from the material header and alternate UoM tables.

For material independent UoMs such as time dimension UoMs, any data that is replicated for time, for example, standard rate reported in minutes is converted into seconds. For this conversion, the UoM and dimension tables are used.
