The unit of measure for a quantity can be displayed using the Unit Annotations. The Unit annotations in the metadata are represented as below.
<EntityType Name="CustomerType"
sap:label="Customers"
sap:content-version="1">
<Key>
<PropertyRef Name="Id" />
</Key>
<Property Name="Id"
Type="Edm.String"
Nullable="false"
MaxLength="10"
sap:visible="true"
sap:label="Customer ID"
sap:creatable="false"
sap:text="Name" />
<Property Name="FC"
Type="Edm.Byte"
sap:label="Field control" />
<Property Name="Name"

<Property Name="Weight"
Type="Edm.Double"
sap:label="Weight"
sap:unit="Unit" />
<Property Name="Unit"
Type="Edm.String"
