Change Units/Measures (U/M) ID
How Do I...
The Change U/M ID window allows you to rename
an existing U/M ID. When you change the ID, the old ID is deleted and
replaced with the one you type in the Enter
New U/M ID field. All transactions and records that were associated
with the old ID will be updated with the new ID. Follow the steps below
to change the U/M ID.
