General Information About Quantity Conversion 

The conversion of units of measure is required to convert business measurements into other units. Business measurements encompass physical measurements which are either assigned to a dimension or are nondimensional. Nondimensional measurements are understood as countable measurements (palette, unit..).

You differentiate between conversions for which you only need to enter a source and target unit in order to perform conversion and conversions for which specifying these values alone is not sufficient. For the latter, you have to enter a conversion factor which is derived from a characteristic or a characteristic combination (compound characteristic) and the corresponding properties.

       1.      Measurements of length

Conversions within the same dimension ID (T006-DIMID) – for example, length:

1 m = 100 cm (linear correlation)

Meter and Centimeter both belong to dimension ID LENGTH.

       2.      Measurements of number associated with measurements of weight

Conversions involving different dimension IDs – for example, number and weight.

1 unit = 25 g (linear correlation)

Unit has dimension ID AAAADL and Gram has dimension ID MASS.

Example

Number	Unit		Number	Unit
1	Chocolate bar	=	25	g
1	Small carton	=	12	Chocolate bar
1	Large carton	=	20	Small carton
1	Europallet	=	40	Large carton

Question: How many chocolate bars fit on one europallet (PAL)?
