¶ Unit of Measure
¶ Usage
The “Unit of Measure (UOM)” screen is used to define and manage the measurement units used for items in the inventory system.
Each item must have a defined unit of measure to ensure accurate stock tracking, reporting, and transaction calculations.
The screen also allows defining conversion ratios between different units for the same item.
