Thanks All. this this was done by adding a new dimension that manages the unit id.

Hi,

Usually, in SAP BI, when we use a key figure of type amount, it automatically assigns UOM (unit of measure). However, its not the same in BPC. So, we need to have a dimension for that. You can create a user defined dimension for UOM and maintain the necessary members with appropriate properties.

Hope this helps.

Hi , thanks for replying, I have experience working on SAP BI, there it is easy to keep different UOMs but I found BPC a quite hard for that.

Any other experience doing this in BPC?

Thanks

Hi,

I am sorry, but there is no alternative to this. You need to have it as a dimension.

Hope this helps.
