SAP Note 429131 - Consultation: Units of Measure

Component : Demand Planning -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/429131 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
In SAP Demand Planning, the assigned unit in transaction /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN defines the default for key figures but isn't converted upon reading due to performance considerations; it must match with liveCache or InfoCube units. For product-level interactive planning, unit settings can be overridden with the product master's units if maintained. UOM settings in auxiliary key figures don't support automatic conversion. Units of measure for promotions and forecasts can be converted following specific conditions in transaction CUNI for aggregation or maintained conversions. Note 959610 introduces minor changes effective from SCM 4.1 regarding unit precision recommendations.
