Set up additional quantity fields.

In financial accounting, reporting mainly focuses on amounts but sometimes you also want to include quantities in your reporting. For example, in the consumer goods industry it is common to store not just the quantity in the sales document (for example, box or pallet) but also to convert that quantity into a quantity that is common across all product lines (for example, pounds weight). This allows for the aggregation of quantities across product lines. You can then use these common quantities as drivers for management accounting (CO) allocation.

A standard unit of measure can be defined to ensure that the quantities can be totaled and is required if you want to use totals as drivers in allocation or top-down distribution. If you specify a standard unit of measure, updates to the line item table of the record are done using this standard unit of measure.

Currently, only quantities such as invoice quantity and delivered quantity are shown in reporting. Additional flexibility is required if you want to store multiple quantities, for example, for profitability analysis. Therefore, additional quantity fields and corresponding units of measure (for example, kilos delivered and shipped) are needed.

Each unit of measure is created based on a specific dimension. Units of measure based on one dimension can be converted and aggregated. Therefore, each additional quantity is assigned to one specific dimension (for example, length, volume, or mass). Additional quantity fields can also be defined without a dimension. In this case, the system uses the dimension AAAADL (no dimension). This dimension is used for countable units such as each, bottles, or pallets.

1. Assign a dimension to the additional quantity fields you are going to use.
2. If you want to allow the aggregation of quantities to use them as drivers in allocation or top-down distribution, specify a standard unit of measure.
3. Implement the logic to fill the additional quantity fields in the BAdI FIN_CODOC_ITEM_QUANTITYfor a specific controlling area.

Assign dimension Mass to an additional quantity field. Implement coding to fill the additional quantity field in the BAdI FIN_CODOC_ITEM_QUANTITY. For example, calculate mass according to the entered number of pieces.
