Objective
After completing this lesson, you will be able to navigate a Unit Type admin and explain what it represents in SAP Fieldglass.
Unit Types are used when creating unit-based rates or defining fees in SOWs.
Unit Based rate types are used when workers are paid by the number of tasks or items completed. The Unit Type indicates the item or task that must be completed. For example, if Carla is paid $10 for every widget she assembles, the Unit Type is created to represent the widget.
The unit type must be created before the unit-based rate.
If the customer is not using unit-based rates, no unit types are needed.
| 1 | To view a list of units associated to the tenant, select Unit Type from the Financial Data section of the admin menu. |
The unit measurements that rates can be associated to will be listed here. There is minimal information presented: just the unit type’s code, name, and optional description.
| 2 | To view the details of the unit type, select an appropriate link in the Code column. |
Unit types exist solely for the purpose of creating items tracked by unit-based rates, so the only information provided is the code, name, optional description, and whether the item represents a product.
| 3 | If Yes is selected in the Product field, the unit type represents a physical object. This data point does not affect system functionality; it allows reports to include or exclude items based on this field. |
