Specifies which capacity unit of measure to use by default to record and track capacity, that is, man/machine time that is available in production resources.
The default unit of measure defined in this field can be overridden by setting different capacity units of measure for specific work centers, routing lines, or output journal lines. However, setting different capacity UOMs may cause misleading or wrong capacity figures in calendar or statistics fields where capacities are summed up, such as the Prod. Order Need (Qty.) field.
Example:
If the first operation (routing line) is set up to last 6 hours and the second operation is set up to last 120 minutes, then the total capacity need of that production order may show as 126 minutes. Of course, if both operations default to the same capacity UOM, then the total capacity need will show correctly as 8 hours or 480 minutes.
