In SAP you can set up weight and physical dimensions of a material per unit of measure.

This information is needed if you use delivery services which require weight and physical dimensions of a package to calculate the shipping cost, for example FedEx or UPS, or the internal Sana shipping costs calculation method based on weight.

For more information about delivery services, see Shipping Methods.

In the main menu of the Sana add-on, click Webstore Configuration. In the Webstore Id field, select your webstore and click on the Change Webstore Settings button at the top. Expand the Products area. Select Weight Unit and Dimension Unit.
