Unit Of Measure Model Overview

The UnitOfMeasure model organizes and manages measurement definitions within the system, facilitating accurate conversions between different units. This model consists of the following primary entities:

1. UnitOfMeasure​

Defines specific measurement definitions within the system used to quantify and contextualize values for materials.

2. UnitOfMeasureConversion​

Represents the conversion between two different UnitOfMeasure entities. The conversion between different units is by a conversion factor, which is typically a multiplicative factor.

The UnitOfMeasure model provides a robust framework for organizing, managing and contextualizing measurement definitions within the system, whilst also providing conversions between different units.
