Message number: 004
Message text: The alternative units of measure are inconsistent
What causes this issue?
The conversion factors you have entered for the alternative units of
measure
either do not correspond to the values in the units of measurement
table (example 1)
or are inconsistent (example 2)
System Response
The system has checked the values for consistency.
&BEISPIEL& 1
You choose g as the base unit of measure and kg as the alternative unit
of measure.
The table definition is: 1,000 g = 1 kg
You enter: 900 g = 1 kg
Since the table defines 1000 g as 1 kg, the system overwrites your
entry of 900 with 1,000.
&BEISPIEL& 2
You choose PC as the base unit of measure, kg as the first alternative
unit, and g as the second alternative unit.
The table definition is: 1 kg = 1,000 g
You enter: 2 PC = 1 kg and 2 PC = 900 g
The table and the first entry define that 2 PC = 1,000 g. The system
overwrites your second entry of 900 with 1,000.
