Message number: 165
Message text: Operation without unit: unit & is copied into the operation
You have entered the unit &V1& for this <GL:operation>operation</> on
<GL:completion_confirmation>completion confirmation</>.
No unit has been maintained in the <GL:standard_value>standard
values</> for this operation. You should note the system response.
The system will copy the unit entered into the standard values of the
operation. This means that after you have saved, any further
confirmation for this operation can be made in a unit that has the same
dimension as that of the unit you have entered.
Example:
You confirm <ZH>hours</>. The dimension is therefore <ZH>time</>. From
now on, you can therefore enter confirmations for this operation in
<ZH>seconds</>, <ZH>minutes</>, <ZH>days</> and so on, but not in
<ZH>meters</>, for example, since this is a unit belonging to the
dimension <ZH>length</>.
Check that you have entered the required unit.
