Set Up a Unit/Measure (U/M)
How Do I...
Follow the steps below to set up a new unit/measure.
- From the Maintain
menu, select Units/Measures. The
Maintain Units/Measures window appears.
- In the U/M ID
field, type an ID code for this unit of measure. For example, if you are
creating a unit/measure for a box of 10 items, you might enter BX-010
as the ID. When you are creating the U/M ID, we suggest that your code
helps describe the unit/measure. This will be helpful when you use the
unit/measure on purchases, invoices, and so on. An ID can be created from the Description you enter, provided that option is selected in Maintain Global Options.
- In the Description
field, type a short description of the unit/measure. For example, you
might enter Box of 10 as the description.
- In the Number
of Stocking Units field, enter the number of stocking units that
make up this unit/measure. The stocking unit is the Stocking U/M that
was set up for each inventory item in the Maintain Inventory Items window.
- When you have finished, select the Save
button to save the unit/measure.
