The following settings are important for various built-in conversions to work correctly, e.g. to show money values as a percentage (need percent basis), show per unit aggregation options, currency conversions.

Therefore the following steps are recommended in a Datamart:

  • Mark the per unit basis for the quantity/volume field.

  • Distinguish if the data is extended or per unit amounts and mark them correctly (see an example of these two options).

  • Mark the percent basis (recommended to do it based on a list price, not an invoice price as it treats on and off invoice discounts the same).

  • Make sure the data types are correct. (For example, a Text field containing currency makes no sense. The field type must be set to Currency for the application to handle the data correctly.)
