Creating Unit of Measure Conversion Records

To create a new conversion record, perform the following steps:

  1. Verify that the two units of measure you want to use for the conversion record are in the system by checking the Unit of Measure Codes form.
  2. On the Unit of Measure Conversion form, select the Base U/M.
  3. Specify the Converted U/M.
  4. Specify the conversion record type (Global, Item, Customer, or Vendor).
  5. Specify the item number (this field is only active if you selected Item, Customer, or Vendor as the conversion record type).
  6. Specify the customer or vendor number (this field is only active if you selected Customer or Vendor as the conversion record type).
  7. Specify the conversion factor. This number represents the mathematical relationship between the base unit of measure and the converted unit of measure.
  8. Close the form and save your changes.
