Add or Remove unit reference
A Unit Reference serves as a standardized identifier for representing specific measurement units within a document. For instance, in financial systems, a Unit Reference might denote a currency such as USD or EUR, while in scientific contexts, it could indicate measurements like meters, liters, or kilograms. By assigning a Unit Reference to your data, you ensure that values are interpreted and processed accurately according to their intended measurement.
Refer to the document carefully and look for the measurements and then proceed with tagging.
