This is done via a GEDI conversion documents that is usually called 'UNIT-STD'. As a general rule, a unit of measure used by EDI must be in singular. For example, if you would make a unit of measure like "10-PIECE" for 10 Pieces, then most likely it won't be able to transfer this correctly in the EDI. Sometimes you can get around this convertering it for example to "BUNDLE" or similar, but then you need to define your bundle in another way in the EDI, and many EDI receivers won't support this. Standard Unit codes used by the CIP: | EDI Codes | Description | | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Piece** | Piece, the most common unit used. | | Undefined | Undefined, if exact match is not needed. | | Kilogram | Kilogram (KG) | | Litre | Litre (L) | | Milligram | Milligram (MG) | | Millilitre | Millilitre (ML) | | Millimetre | Millimetre (MM) | | Metre | Metre (M) | | SquareMetre | Square Metre (M^2) | | QubicMetre | Qubic Metre (M^3) | | MetricTon | Metric Ton | | Bundle | Bundle | | Box | Box / Number of Packs | | Gram | Gram (g) | | Centimetre | Centimetre (CM) | | Kilometre | Kilometre (KM) | | Day | Day | | Hour | Hour | | Month | Month | | Pallet | Pallet | | PalletEur6 | EUR 6 Pallet (800 X 600 mm).

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.goldenedi.com/standards/cip/units-of-measures.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
