What is linear/volumetric conversion constant in SAP IS-OIL-DS-BDR - Bulk Distribution Requirements Planning?

SAP Term: linear/volumetric conversion constant

• Component: IS-OIL-DS-BDR

• Component Name: Bulk Distribution Requirements Planning

• Description: A pair of values which defines a permanent correlation between a reading from a linear scale and a volumetric quantity. Linear/volumetric conversion constants form the basis of calculations used to determine the quantity of material in a storage object tank for any given material level in that storage object. This alignment of volumes to linear values is necessary, because, for instance, with irregularly-shaped tanks, the material volume cannot be calculated by simply multiplying the linear dipping rod reading by a given factor.
