Unit Of Measures
The Units configuration within Inventory Settings allows the user to define the different units of measurement (UOM) used for stocking, purchasing, and selling items. Standardizing these units ensures consistency across all modules, from inventory counts to financial invoicing. To access this list, navigate to Inventory > Click the "Settings" icon (top right) > Select the "Units" Tab.
