CREATION OF KEY FIGUERS :

BEFORE CREATING A KEY FIGURE FIRST CREATE A UNIT CHARACTER.

THIS UNIT CHARACTER HAS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH KEY FIGURE.

UNIT VALUES ARE OF TWO TYPES

1) FIXED UNIT : IF IT IS A FIXED UNIT NO NEED TO CREATE UNIT CHARACTERS, JUST S
PECIFY THE VALUE WHILE CREATING THE KEY FIGURE.

2) VARIABLE UNIT :
IF IT IS A VARIABLE UNIT ASSOCIATE THE KEY FIGURE WITH UNIT CHARACTER.

EITHER WE CAN CREATE A UNIT CHARACTER OR WE CAN USE READYMADE UNIT CHARACTERS GI
VEN BY SAP.

2) 0UNIT .........> UNIT OF MEASUREMENT.

EVEN THOUGH WE CREATE A UNIT CHARACTER IT IS DESIGNED SUCH A WAY THAT IT ALWAYS
GETS THE REFERENCE FROM READYMADE UNIT CHARACTERS.
