Hi,

Does anyone have any experience and or guidance that you could share for how to manage Technical Classes that require both imperial and metric attributes and attribute values. We are mid way through a company by company implementation, which has being focused on European countries(where units of measurement are metric). Our next implementation will be in a USA located manufacturing company where the units of measurement are imperial. Ideally we like to use the same tech classes across the group of companies but we are unsure as to how we could do this in IFS if at all.  

Regards

John

Hi John,

You will have no choice but to create a second parallel attribute so that you can enter the value with the corresponding UoM as appropriate:

 

It may be possible to calculate and enter the respective other attribute via a factor using an event. However, you would have to clarify this in detail.

 

Best regards,
Mike
