1.4 UNIT OF MEASUREMENTS
General Explanation:
In applications you often have to make calculations with quantities and physical units. Units of
measurement are needed for their screen display and for internal conversions (such as kilogram <-
> gram, but also centimeter <-> inch). The international system of units (SI) is used for this.
The international system of units is based on seven basic units of measurement. All other units are
derived from these basic units. Units of measurement that measure the same quantity (and can
therefore be converted into each other) are included in a dimension.
Units of measurement are held centrally in the SAP System for all applications. The conversion
factors are stored in the system with a unique internal key. The external display specifications are
maintained for each unit of measurement language-dependently. A business key (3 characters)
and a technical key (6 characters) should be maintained for each language.
