Posted on by Mohamed GRAIB 2,504 Moderator

Hi all, 

My customer has a problem when he tries to create Unit of measure in a system. 

So he wants to create : 

MVA (id) = MegaVoltAmper 

mVA (idà = miliVoltAmper 

How can we authorize the creation of the unit of mesure 

Dynamics 365 Show us an error message the the record exist. It dosn't differenciate between the Uppercase and lowercase. 

Thank you in advance.

    Hi Mohamed GRAIB

    You are right, you can not use same name for different UOM and there is no way that system can allow duplicate name as this is key field of table. I would suggest changing one of the name or add some additional character of identification.

    Please let us know if this helps.

    Thanks,

    Hi Mohamed,

    As mentioned above, the primary key does not distinct when using different casing.  You should use distinct codes regardless the usage of capital and normal letters.
