As a result, they spend a lot of time on tracking materials and answering supply-, quality-, and payment-related questions. Because this session gives a quick overview of item data and easy access to item- and purchase-related data, the negotiation process is smoothened.

Unit
The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter.
