Units of measure

A unit of measure (UOM) is a building block of Optiva. A UOM is a standard that is used to measure and convert quantities of items. The UOMs are usually assigned to parameters. Items then have parameter values assigned to them, usually through a UOM. These values are then rolled into formulas as items are added directly to formulas or indirectly through sub-formulas.

The UOM is displayed in grids throughout Optiva. This example shows the Item Lines tab in the Formula form.
