Unit of Measure

The default unit of measure value for customer order transactions is based on what is set up in the Unit of Measure Conversions form or the Items form. For more information about how U/M default values are set, see About Unit of Measure.

A different unit of measure can be entered if the following conditions are met:

• The entered unit of measure is defined in the Unit of Measure Codes form.
• There is a valid Unit of Measure Conversion defined between the base unit of measure and unit of measure used for the line/release.

If a customer order line/release is cross-referenced to a job, purchase order, or purchase order requisition, it will use the base unit of measure from the Items form.
