Unit of Measure
Most all inventory will fall into the unit of measures we have provided. But you may want to add your own to detail certain items.
We don't recommend adding too many UOM (Units of Measure)
as the list may become so large that it will actually slow
down your entry process.
To Add a New Unit of Measure
-
From the Upper Menu, click Setup | Units of Measure.
-
Click the Add UOM button.
-
Type in a short description in the UOM (cannot be more than 6 characters). E.G. ml
-
Type in a Unit Description – This is for the long version of the unit. E.G. Milliliter
-
To add additional units, repeat steps 1-4.
-
Click the Save and Close.
You can Delete Units of Measure but they
CANNOT be used in any items and must not be used in
any history. If you wish to delete a unit then you must delete the
history.
E.G. If the UOM has been used in an Invoice or Sales Mix etc. If you must delete a UOM, go to File|Delete Data. Delete the old data in which you may have used the unit, then got to all the items and see where you may have used it, then come back to this window and delete the unit. See Deleting Data
