Posted on by 55

Hi, good day. 
I would like to ask about what is the difference between base unit and system unit in unit modules? What is fixed unit assignment and decimal precision? 

Thank you and have a nice day.

Best Regards. 
Shi Min.

    Good morning Shi Min,

    Have you already checked the following MS docs site on units?

    docs.microsoft.com/.../units

    I feel that all of your questions are answered there.

    Would be great if you could check out this site.

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Shi Min,

    When you say more details, do you mean practical use cases/examples or something alike?

    A good way to get them applied to your items/products is setting things up in a demo environment and then posting some test transactions.

    I think that would help.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
