Units of Measure

The Units of Measure page enables administrators to view, manage, and set up unit of measure conversion rates. These unit of measure conversion rates are used for framework calculations and audit purposes. The Units of Measure page has two tabs: External and Internal.

External

The External tab displays all units of measure provided through ESG Reporting and Planning. These units of measure cannot be added, edited, or deleted.

The External tab displays external units of measure

Internal

The Internal tab enables administrators to create custom units of measure for different unit types.

To add a unit of measure, complete the following steps:

  1. Select a unit type. A unit type must be selected first or the other fields will display No Data.

  2. Populate all fields. The Default Unit Name and Default Unit drop-down menus will filter based on your selected unit type. The target unit and target unit name must be unique within the same unit type across Internal and External units of measure.

    NOTE: Unit of measure entries can have a maximum of 13 decimal places. Numbers exceeding 13 decimal places are rounded.

  3. Click the Add icon. The new unit of measure is displayed in the grid.

    All internal units of measure fields are populated and the add button is boxed with yellow highlight to the right of the fields.

To delete a unit of measure, click the Delete Row icon.
