To create a new unit of measure on the Unit
of Measure Codes form, perform the following steps:
-
Verify that the unit of measure you want to create is not already
in the system by scrolling through the list.
-
Click in the first empty row at the bottom of the list.
-
Enter the code for the new unit of measure (three-character maximum).
Note: Where possible, select
an ISO unit of measure from the drop-down list, rather than creating
a custom U/M.
-
Enter the description of the unit of measure. (The description
defaults from the ISO Unit of Measure Codes
form if you selected an ISO U/M.)
-
If your planning mode is APS, specify the Planning Precision factor,
if needed. This field is used for APS.
-
Close the form and save your changes.
