Weight unit

The Weight in Kg configuration setting determines whether the weight is transferred in kilograms (enabled) or grams (disabled).

Defining units

You maintain additional units of an item under Related → Item → Units of Measure. There you define, for example, the weight or quantity per sales unit (such as for sets of three).

Like other master data, units receive a Web-ID and are created automatically when required. Use Reset Unit IDs to rebuild the link.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the product weight transferred in kilograms or grams?

This depends on the “Weight in Kg” setting: if it is enabled, the connector transfers the weight in kilograms, otherwise in grams. The transferred weight is calculated as net weight × sales unit.

How do I set up base price information (for example, price per liter)?

Base price information is derived from the reference unit and the units of measure of the item. Maintain the base unit of measure and the related values in Business Central – the connector transfers the unit and reference unit to Shopware so that the base price is calculated correctly.
