Standard of measurement (metric vs imperial) in Canada

Dear experts-
I'd like to know the approach that you have taken/seen on a decision of measures (metric vs imperial).  I am currently working on a project in Canada involving SAP article and a topic of which one to use between metric and imperial is under way.
I appreciate your help in advance.

No, SAP does not have splant specific stock keeping units.
You can have order units (info record)  and goods issue units by plant, but the base unit of measure is unique to the material - globally.
The decision metric vs. imperial is one that has to be made long before going live and needs to be tested (by the people who have to deal with the change) and communicated to everyone.
If no transactional document was carried out for the material then you can change the unit. but if you had already a PO, or movement, then it is better to create a new material rather than going to all the archiving stuff to be finally able to change the unit.

  • Switching Page Setup window from Metric to Imperial

    Hi,
    Might anyone know how to change the metric measurements (cm) to imperial ones (inch) -seen below the Paper Size dropdown menu- in the Page Setup dialog box of any given program?
    I've tried everything I can think of, including switching keyboard layouts and Time Zone setting to make the computer think I live somewhere other than Canada, but nothing will make a US Letter sized paged show as "8.5 in x 11 in".
    Thanks!

    Go to International Preferences in System Preferences and switch to the Formats panel. There is a drop down menu at the bottom called "Measurement Units" - that should do it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Changing metric to imperial in maps

    I know how to get to the place where I can switch from metric to imperial, but when I highlight the 'imperial' setting, or click 'change', it doesn't change, but stays on metric.  Does anyone else have this.  I really like ovi maps, but living in the UK, would prefer to have the units in miles.

    Welcome to the forum!
    Do settings in OVI Maps application reconcile with Location/Positioning settings for GPS?
    No clues as to what device you are using but if S60 5th Ed. device have you gone to Menu > Applications > Location > Positioning > Notation preferences > Measurement system = Imperial?
    For Symbian^3 OS device go to Menu > Settings > Application settings > Positioning > Notation preferences > Measurement system = Imperial

  • Rulers, resizing and measurement metrics

    I'm posting this in hope someone bites.
    Is there any way to set measurements in cropping to metric?
    Is there a ruler function in the works for Aperture?
    Is there something about resizing I am missing in Aperture?
    It's a bit backwards shipping images over to old Photoshop droplets just so I can resize images to exact, professional specifications.
    Any hints or suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the nibble!
    Excuse me while I move on to entrées... ;o)
    For professional considerations, let's take a simple one:
    Can anyone come up with a better solution than cut and pasting conversions?
    • Produce a 35mm x 45mm passport photo from an 8mp 2448x3264ppi portrait
    (chin to hairline measuring 25mm) not to exceed 150ppi (or dpi for that matter).
    *35mm is 132.283464567ppi or 1.377952756 Imperial inches.
    45mm is 170.078740157ppi or 1.771653543 Imperial inches.
    Side Orders:
    • OS Language and Text preferences are set to Metric. App still defaults to inches allowing custom input but only in Imperial Inches; no PPI (or DPI) or Metric options.
    • Print Preview requires a custom page size; gives me Metric input fields from my OS, then converts to Imperial Inches as you shift between fields.
    *(Even if I have the exact PDF (printer definition file) to target my output, going to print preview to produce a working file is like working in Microsoft Word)!
    • There is no option I can find to specify an crop "ppi" or offer a "Save Crop As" so I gather crop does not (cannot) handle conversions.
    • To confuse issues even further, Export Version offers DPI as an output value (without showing the original "dpi" or ppi. Which one are they talking about? ...Special thanks to the development "team" here).
    *Condiments:
    • Pepper: I'm using ppi for this discussion while trying to avoid the whole dpi discussion.
    • Salt: http://www.unitconversion.org/unit_converter/typography-ex.html
    Sorry if I sound a bit facetious, I'm actually just disappointed.
    Try to take most of my commentary in good jest and fair humour to all.
    Cheers and thank you ever so much!

  • Global Standard for Measures

    Now that I know much more about data and data bases, I want to make very clear the requested standard, being the foundation of what I call the 'Base1' system.
    The request is for a global standard of all measurements in all professions to be recorded for sharing as a single entity, called a 'Point' having attributes ID, URL, alt, lat, lon, time, measure, spatial radius, time radius, measure radius.
    The URL being the contact for the originator of the measures, who is naturally charged with maintaining and making available MetaData on the techniques, and for searches, etc, on a per-list basis, each list having all such attributes in common and being the measure of one and only one magnitude (not any kind of difference, sum, or ratio). The list ID being attributed to each Point object from that list.
    The time and time radius being in seconds since 1970 and seconds, respectively.
    The altitude and spatial radius being in latitude seconds (to avoid feet/meters conventions confusion).
    The measure radius being measured according to the same unit as the unit of measure (which unit of measure is recorded with the URL MetaData for the list).
    The 'radius' refering to the +/- accuracy range for the point.
    Any data which is sensitive being shared on a scale of 1.

    Dear Deeksha,
    Once the process order has been confirmed with final confirmation or say the complete confirmation,goods movements(Gi&Gr)
    activities are completed,then the TECO status can be set on the same day of final confirmation and GR or else on the next day.
    If my understanding is correct then SAP suggests to set the TECO status once the shop floor activities are completed and no
    where I could see the no of days for performing this activity.
    If required this can be individually set at process order level in COR2 or else as month ending activity by setting TECO for a list
    of process orders using T.Code COHVPI.
    Check and revert back.

  • UOM - Metric vs. Imperial

    Good afternoon,
    We have two offices, one in Switzerland, the other in Canada.  The item in question was set up on the system by Canada and the UOM is inches.  We know that we can set up UOM conversion for metric to imperial, but we have another issue.
    When the Swiss users go into any of the screens to display the item, it defaults to the imperial UOM rather than metric.
    Short of setting up a new item, or remembering to change it on the screen, is there a way to set up an item so it will display a UOM based on the plant?
    Thanks for your help and let me know if more information is required.

  • Tabular form with a metric/imperial selector

    Hi,
    Oracle 10g database and APEX 3.2.
    I have a tabular form based on a simple query (SELECT rock_type, depth FROM rock_samples) with an editable "depth" field. The user cannot add or remove records, but can make updates to that one field. MRU process is handling that.
    The underlying table "rock_samples" stores "depth" in meters.
    I need to somehow allow the user to select either metric system (meters) or imperial (feet). Based on that selection the displayed deths should change. However, regardless of the selection the updated values should be saved as meters.
    Any suggestions on how to implement this would be most welcome, as I cannot think of anything.
    Thanks,
    Constantine

    Hi Constantine,
    Sorry my code was slightly confusing. :P1_SELECTOR would be the name of your selector with "Metric" and "Imperial" in it, and this would have to submit the page on select. You can still use the decode in your select statement to display the initial value.
    SELECT col1, col2, DECODE(:P1_SELECTOR, 'M', depth, 'I', (depth*3.2808399)) depth_result
    from table_nameSaves/Inserts will be trickier. This could probably done with Javascript, but seems like it would be best handled by a trigger just before insert/update on your table. But then you need a way of knowing if the :NEW values are in Metric or Imperial, so you would need a "dummy" value or flag in your table that the incoming values are in Imperial and need converting to Metric.
    Hope this helps,
    Aaron

  • News YTD, YTD LY, MTD measures in OBIEE repository

    Hello All,
    I wanted some help in creating the following kind of measures:
    1) YTD LY
    E.g if today is 25/12/2013
    It should give the total of all sales from 01/01/2012 to 25/12/2012
    2) YTD
    E.g if today is 25/12/2013
    It should give the total of all sales from 01/01/2013 to 25/12/2013
    3) MTD
    E.g if today is 25/12/2013
    It should give the sum of all sales from 01/12/2013 to 25/12/2013
    Thanks

    If you have a properly defined time dimension which supports aggregation at year and month level, then provided you do not have future dated data (!) in your system the standard YTD measures created at the appropriate level of aggregation will do what you describe, but the L YTD would have to be done in the analysis itself.
    BUT - usually end users ask for this kind of functionality and then subsequently add the requirement that they want to be able to run this 'for any point in time', for which the only way to go is parameters coupled with filter / case logic in the analysis.
    regards,
    Robert.

    If so, you can add a member to your query to be evaluated on the members you want :
    With member standard as ([Measures].[Sales],[Dept].[Dept].CurrentMember,[Date].[Date].CurrentMember ,,,)
    member NonStandard as ([Measures].[Sales],[Dept].[Dept].[All],[Date].[Date].CurrentMember ,,,)

  • US selling to Canada

    I'm hoping that you can help me with a tax issue I'm having We are having issues determining the tax when selling from the US a Canadian customer when the Tax Jur. Code is Canadian e.g 'CAPA' The condition on the customer sales is UTXJ.' Background: Current environment we have a Sales Org 3510 assigned to a US company code. They have been selling successfully determining the Canada sales tax.  So for example Quebec Canadian sales tax will sales  still has to be charge. Under the Customer 'General Data' screen the Tax Jurisdiction was "CN0110000" which is a US code  In the sales view  UTXJ is the value as this is assigned to the country of the company code. This all worked fine   The problem is we are introducing an Canadian company.  Importantly the decision has been made to share customers.  Now because of the tax setup customers with a  Canadian address can now only select Canadian Tax Jurisdiction codes in the address e.g CAPQ. This is the only value permitted in the drop down. So we don't have a mixture of some Canadian customer with the US Tax Jur. Code and other with the Canadian Tax Jur code it was decided to update all Canadian customers with the Canadian Jur. This meant that a customer that had 'CN0110000' will now be changed to 'CAPQ' But the tax code assigned in the Sales view determined from the country of the company code so the tax code is still UtXJ. What do we need to do so I can charge tax of 5% for Quebec? I'm struggling to know what to do to determine the tax. Canadian Tax is condition CTXJ but the Sales Org has a condition UTXJ. We can add the condition CTXJ to the pricing procedure but it wont find a valid record because it wants to use UTXJ. UTXJ cannot be used because now the Tax Jur. Code on the customer 'address is CAPQ Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards

    You have to be using the longer Sell Listing form in order to gain access to USD but you won't be able to revise any current active listings. Currency has to be set as the item is listed or relisted. Please also consider there are Pros and Cons to USD as well as CAD. If you expect your item will sell to an American, then USD is the way to go but the currency conversion may be a buzzkill for any Canadian bidders you might have.  Also, you pay a higher rate to paypal as it is a foreign currency. This should be factored into the fees you expect to pay.  As an aside, I had a gander at one of your listings and saw this about postage: "Please note due to the size of these train cars the box for packing will have to be large hence the higher shipping costs. The costs shown in the listing are just a quote and depending on the location may indeed be cheaper but will not be any higher." It's better to find the box it will go into and set Calculated shipping with weight and metric dimensions both via Canada Post. You may be needlessly turning off bidders who shirk at the postage cost and then also you may be setting expectations that postage will be discounted even when it hits cost.  Good luck as you carry forward. 

  • Why Use Picas?

    Hi, all. I'd to solicit some commentary regarding this topic, which I've wrestled with since I started doing print design 7 years ago. I can't figure out why anyone would use picas and points for measurement, other than being taught that system to begin with and clinging to it. I assume there must be a practical reason, but I can't figure it out.
    Looking online, the explanation I found was that it's so much easier to do the math when using picas. To show this, they pointed out how easy it is to divide an 8.5" x 11" sheet into thirds the long way, 66 picas easily being divided by 3 into 22. This only makes sense if you assume that we always work with letter-sized sheets and always need to divide by numbers that work this easily. But what if we're working with an odd page size or need to make unusual measurements? It would seem that working in picas and points could just as easily be a complete pain as it could be convenient, depending on the project.
    The other justification I've come across is that picas and points are the standard when working with newspapers and many other publications, but this doesn't argue in favor of picas as a better standard, it only favors picas as a matter of convenience and tradition. It makes me think of metric versus imperial measurements, where the U.S. continues to use the feet and inches even though the metric system appears to make more sense, the main reason seeming to be that we just can't be bothered to embrace it.
    Anyway, considering that modern page layout is generally done with a computer that can easily divide inches and express fractions as decimals, is there any practical advantage to measuring in picas? So far, I can't see any reason to learn this system beyond the possibility that I may someday need to deal with someone else who uses them. So far, I've never encountered that person and even the major newspapers and magazines I've dealt with have sent their specs in inches.
    Who is using this system and why? The last time I was told to use a pica was while working on my high school yearbook back in 1984! Of course, even if we'd had it then, I don't think InDesign would've run very well on our Commodore PET computers.

    "The same can be said of any system of measurement. people use the system they are comfortable with."
    That's kinda my point, I guess. I was just wondering if there was a more practical reason to use picas that I didn't understand. Mr. Benson's explanation of the 12-base system makes sense, but it assumes that division by 6, 4, 3, or 2 is more common and thus more useful, which it very well may be.
    "The book I'm working on now uses a measure of 27p3 (327 points). If I try to work with that in inches, it's a most inconvenient 4.541667". "
    I'm sure that's true, but I'm guessing that the book is only set up to those specs because the decision was made to work in picas. Why else would anyone choose to create a book at 4.541667"? Wouldn't it be just as easy to just decide to measure the book at 4.5" and use standard measures?
    Don't misunderstand me, I'm not knocking picas or people who use them. I'm just trying to find out if there's any value in learning to use them myself and I really appreciate everyone's comments. So far, I'm not seeing any reason for me to go that way, which is also valuable to my understanding. I'm sure if you're used to using them they're far less cryptic than they appear to me!

  • How to Count Number of "Visits" or "Visitors" on a Public Portal?

    I have a publicly accessible Portal that does not require users to login. As such, in the performance reporting logs, most every user is PUBLIC. This doesn't allow me to provide standard Visitor Analysis metrics (like unique visitors, new visitors, pages per visit, etc.). Using the Session count doesn't work for me either, because our server team has the KeepAlive directive turned off, so basically, every request is a new session, which really skews the analysis.
    Has anyone encountered this before? Or, can someone tell me what the best practices are for the KeepAlive Apache directive and other related configuration items?
    Thanks!

    The kind of metrics you are looking for is often referred to as 'Business Centric Portal Analytics'. Oracle Portal provides the performance monitoring scripts for tuning and troubleshooting your Portal. It does not provide any functionality other metrics.
    You may want to look at offerings from Omniture. More information regarding their offering is available in the white paper 'How to Effectively Measure and Monitor Activity in Your Portal
    Environment' on OTN :
