• Key Concepts: 
  Scaling factor is a parameter used in the Energy Data Management (EDM) component of SAP IS-U. It is used to convert the unit of measure of an energy quantity from one unit to another. For example, it can be used to convert kilowatt-hours (kWh) to megawatt-hours (MWh). 
  
  How to use it: 
  The scaling factor is set up in the EDM configuration. It is used to define the conversion factor between two units of measure. The scaling factor is then applied when energy quantities are converted from one unit to another. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the scaling factor, it is important to ensure that the correct conversion factor is used. This will ensure that the energy quantities are accurately converted from one unit to another. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The scaling factor can be used in conjunction with other EDM parameters, such as the energy type and energy quantity, to accurately convert energy quantities from one unit to another.
