What is measurement retrieval hierarchy rule in SAP IS-OIL-UOM-ALN - UOM Production Allocation?

SAP Term: measurement retrieval hierarchy rule

• Component: IS-OIL-UOM-ALN

• Component Name: UOM Production Allocation

• Description: Business rule for determining the value of the measurement for a given location or meter value. The user hierarchically defines rules for measurement retrieval at primary, secondary, tertiary level and so on with the aim of reducing the allocation failure rate due to a lacking meter reading at a particular node. Example: if a meter is exposed to harsh weather conditions such as frost from where the primary reading is normally taken, a secondary rule exists that defines that the reading is taken from a meter nearby that is protected from the elements.

• Key Concepts: 
  The measurement retrieval hierarchy rule is a component of the IS-OIL-UOM-ALN UOM Production Allocation module in SAP. This rule defines the order in which measurements are retrieved from the system when allocating production. It is used to ensure that the most accurate and up-to-date measurements are used for production allocation.
  
  How to use it: 
  The measurement retrieval hierarchy rule is used to define the order in which measurements are retrieved from the system when allocating production. This rule can be configured to prioritize certain measurements over others, depending on the needs of the organization. For example, if an organization wants to prioritize measurements from a specific source, they can configure the rule to retrieve those measurements first.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring the measurement retrieval hierarchy rule, it is important to consider how different sources of measurements may affect production allocation. For example, if an organization is using measurements from multiple sources, they should consider how those measurements may differ and how they may affect production allocation.
