  • What causes this issue?

    When processing assets, you cannot enter a quantity without a unit of
    quantity. Therefore the system adapts the entry for the unit of
    quantity to the entry for the quantity.
    Independent of this, the system also allows for separate handling of
    the maintenance level. This method allows, for example, the unit of
    quantity to be specified at the level of the asset class, but the
    quantity itself to be managed at the level of the asset.
