Supplementary unit window

The Supplementary units panel is a table with the list of supplementary units of measurement with their applicable recalculation ranges.

Figure 2.69. Supplementary units panel

Columns in the Supplementary units panel data grid:

Name – name of the supplementary unit of measurement to be displayed when entering volumes within specified ranges.
Unit (menu) – primary unit of measurement to be recalculated and replaced with the supplementary one.
Volume range min. value – lower limit of a volume range subject to recalculation.
If a volume is within this range, the supplementary unit will be applied.
Volume range max. value – upper limit of a volume range subject to recalculation.
If a volume is within this range, the supplementary unit will be applied.
Ratio – ratio used to recalculate volumes. This field must be filled out.
The ratio is used when an entered value falls within the range subject to recalculation. To recalculate this volume or quantity expressed in primary units of measurement, you should multiply it by the ratio.
Volume_{primary units}=Volume_suppl.units*Ratio
Index – priority of supplementary units when ranges of volume recalculation overlap one another.
The Index indicates the order of supplementary units application if the value falls within more than one ranges of supplementary units of measurement.

The context menu contains the following commands:

Add (Ins) – adds a new supplementary unit for the volume recalculation range.
Edit (F2) – edits selected supplementary units of measurement for volume recalculation ranges.
Delete (Del) – permanently deletes supplementary units of measurement from the menu units of measurement specification.
Print (Ctrl+P) – generates print layouts.
Summary functions – menu with the commands to manage summary functions of the data grid.
Additional functions – menu with the commands to operate the data grid.

In order to add a new supplementary unit within any volume recalculation range of a menu item, use the New supplementary unit entry window. Use Supplementary unit and Supplementary units entry windows if you need to change any attributes of supplementary units within volume recalculation ranges.

When permanently deleting supplementary units from the menu units of measurement specification the confirmation prompt will appear.
