Enhancement of the "unit" data model

Enhancement of the "unit" data model

The data model entity of type unit has been refactored to allow for export, import and API based access from now on. This further supports daily operations within Product 360 for data integration use cases and also forms up a major benefit when it comes to transferring data between individual deployments.
The following list describes the main enhancements in more detail:
  • A mandatory, globally unique code has been introduced which also acts as the external identifier of a unit. Migration scripts will use the so-called "System Units" unit system's codes for this. In case duplicates are recognized during migration, they are named accordingly. Please see the Migration Guide for further details.
  • All unit system-specific fields are renamed to "Alternative ..." (e.g. "Alternative Code", "Alternative Symbol", etc.)
  • Unit fields have been adjusted and correct categories are assigned to the fields
  • The generic import has been activated for the unit entity
  • The generic List API has been activated, hence units can now also be created and adjusted via the Service API
  • Export data providers have been adjusted to support the unit root entity and all its child entities (existing templates might need to be adjusted, please see the Migration Guide for details)
Note that in order to realize this feature the release comes with integrated update scripts that will adjust your existing units in the system. It is strongly recommended to perform a data backup before and revise all units maintained in the system after the upgrade for consistency.
