Unit of measure

You can display the prices of your items in one unit of measure, but sell the product in a different unit of measure.

For example, you can display prices for items by the case, but sell items by the pair.

The display of available alternate unit of measure along with the associated conversion factor is determined by the Application Property.
  • Use the Ordering. Multiple Unit of Measure application property to display one alternate unit of measure next to the Quantity field in the web shop. The conversion factor is displayed under the name of the item if the price unit of measure and alternate unit of measure beside the Quantity field are different.
  • Use the Ordering. Select Ordering Unit application property to enable the selection of alternate unit of measure of an item that a user orders. The conversion factor between the base unit of measure and the alternate unit of measure is displayed in the unit drop-down on the Item Details page.
Limitations:
  • Using the alternate unit of measure is only certified for M3.
  • Ordering using alternate unit of measure can cause inaccuracies for the Unit Price per Qunatity, Line Quantity, Unit Measure, and Total Quantity in the Invoice Details page.
