Unit Conversion 

Use

You use the Unit Conversion function type to convert units of key figures into other key figures using unit relationships.

In the Source/Target Key Figure Conversion Type table, you can specify multiple conversions. For each conversion, you have to select the unit or quantity conversion type. The value in the target key figure is overwritten. This also applies when the source key figure is empty. The value of the source key figure is not changed during unit conversion. In this way the function can be executed more than once without the results changing. There is a special logic to ensure that this is the case when the source key figure and target figure are identical and the source unit of the data record is used: If there is already a value in the target unit, it is ignored if there are values in the source unit that do not have the target unit. Otherwise the value in the target unit is used.

With this function, only the unit fields can be characteristics to be changed.
