Special feature for units (currency)
Unlike many code fields in Smart Materials, units are not required to be uppercase because this is not necessarily supported by external systems outside Smart Materials. Units are processed as explained here.
First, the system tries to find the unit as provided in the XML file. If this unit cannot be found, the system tries to find the unit using uppercase in the comparison.
