Unit of Measure

The system calculates charges based in part on the unit of measure used to process inventory. You can use the Units of Measure screen to describe all the different units of measure that your company uses.

Required?
While the system comes with most standard units of measure already defined, you can create new unit of measure records that are unique to your facility (such as different types of boxes, crates, and pallets).
