Mapping ISO U/Ms to Existing U/Ms
If you already have custom U/Ms defined and referenced elsewhere in
the system, you cannot delete or modify them, for data consistency. However, when
integrating SyteLine to other BOD-enabled
applications, only the ISO U/M codes may be used. To make this work, you can map any
existing custom U/M codes to the predefined ISO U/Ms, using the Unit of Measure Codes form.
You can map multiple U/Ms to the same ISO U/M code. This is acceptable if you already have existing custom U/M codes used in transactions stored in the database. For example, you might map the following:
| U/M | Description | ISO U/M |
|---|---|---|
| DOZ | Dozen | DZ |
| DZ | Dozen | DZ |
However, if you do this, the system will choose only one of the U/M code descriptions to display in Business Object Documents (BODs). So if you have mapped multiple descriptions to one ISO code in error, the BOD may include an incorrect U/M description. For example:
| U/M | Description | ISO U/M |
|---|---|---|
| 40 | Milliliter per Second | 40 |
| 41 | Milliliter per Minute | 40 |
