By default, Akeneo exports dimensions to Tehden from the “ weight ” attribute. Tehden also supports other units of measure, so for this purpose, a new measurement group can be created in Akeneo with any code of your choice and the units of measure supported by Tehden can be built into it. If you build your own measure, create an attribute with the code “ erp_measures ” and set it to use the measure you created. If erp_measure is enabled, it will be used as the primary attribute for exporting sizes to Tehden.
Attribute code:erp_measure
