Understanding Units of Measure
Units of Measure (UOM) identify quantities measured and recorded, such as KWH, KW, cubic feet, degrees Celsius, etc. UOMs are based on a specific service type. When used to define interval prices, units of measure might include currency denominations such as dollars or cents.

Important Unit of Measure System Events
Unit of Measure supports the following business object algorithm system events:
-
Axis Conversion: this event receives a list of measurements along with a source UOM and interval size and a target UOM and interval size. It should then perform the necessary actions to convert the source UOM and interval size into the target UOM and interval size. Refer to the algorithm Axis Conversion algorithm (D1-AXIS-CONV) as an example.
When used with Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service and Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Management, axis conversion is most commonly used to convert “kWh avoided” interval values to match the interval size of the interval prices used in event settlement calculations.
