Adding units of measure

You can specify or change the units of measure that you use when ordering and issuing items. Any units of measure that you add become available in the product for use with all items.

About this task

If the units of measure do not match when you receive or transfer an item into a storeroom, the product looks for a conversion ratio to determine the stocking balance. You associate the order and issue units to an item when you add the item to a storeroom. You can access the Add/Modify Units of Measure window from more than one application.

Procedure

  1. From your application, display a record.
  2. Select the Unit of Measure and Conversion > Add/Modify Units of Measure action.
  3. Click New Row.
  4. Specify a unit of measure.
  5. Type an abbreviation for this unit of measure. If configured to do so, the product uses the abbreviations along with the classification of an asset to create descriptions for assets, locations, and items.
  6. Type a description for this unit of measure.
  7. Click New Row to specify additional units of measure.
  8. Click OK.
