Enter the factor for converting this unit to the item stocking unit. For example, if “each” is a stocking unit of measure (with a conversion factor of 1), the conversion factor for “dozen” would be 12.
You can have several units with a conversion factor of 1. Each of these units might be used as a stocking unit for an inventory item.
Type the unit of measure as you want it to appear on data entry screens. For example, “each,” “dozen,” or “box.”
If units of measure have already been added to the Units Of Measure screen, you will have to press the Insert key to start a new line.
Overview
You use the I/C Units of Measure screen to add the units of measure (UOMs) in which you buy, sell, price, and stock your inventory items.
Inventory Control lets you define all of your units of measure in a single place so you can add them more easily to item records.
Units of measure can be numbers of items, dry measures, liquid measures, or weights. You can add all of your stocking units and multiples of stocking units to the Units Of Measure screen, and then choose the group of units you need for each item you add.
Note: You can choose in the I/C Options screen whether to allow only the units of measure that you define here in inventory records. If you do not choose Only Use Defined UOM, you can use other units of measure with items.
