  Key Concepts: 
  Unit of measure (UoM) is a term used in SAP's SmartOps component to refer to the unit of measure used to define the quantity of a material or service. It is used to define the quantity of a material or service in terms of its physical characteristics, such as weight, volume, length, etc. UoM is also used to define the pricing and cost of a material or service. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP's SmartOps component, UoM is used to define the quantity of a material or service. This can be done by selecting the appropriate UoM from the drop-down list in the material master data. The UoM can also be changed by selecting a different UoM from the drop-down list. The UoM can also be used to define the pricing and cost of a material or service. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When selecting a UoM for a material or service, it is important to ensure that it is consistent with the physical characteristics of the material or service. For example, if the material is measured in kilograms, then it should be assigned a UoM of kilograms.
