How do I define a new SAP dimension?

Quantities in SAP are defined as dimensions. These are maintained in SAP transaction CUNI: Dimensions ->

Units of Measure (UoM) are then defined per dimension. With the QuantityWare BCS template, more than 60 dimensions are delivered. Thus, it should not be necessary to define a new dimension.

If you cannot find the UoM with the appropriate dimension in the configuration template client 045, you should contact QuantityWare Support to discuss this requirement.

Reason:
New dimension definitions may require a specific configuration and global function module enhancement, due to a design ambiguity in SAP transaction CUNI:
Different quantities like e.g. gross standard mass and net standard mass carry the same dimension (mass), but require two different dimension definitions (technical key DIMID) in SAP – A dimension in SAP is actually a quantity. Read the FAQ UoM Dimension for additional technical details.
