Units of Measure
Form ID: (CS203500)
On this form, you specify unit conversions for the units of measure (UOMs) used in MYOB Acumatica. You add a new unit of measure by specifying how it can be converted to other units of measure available in the system. For information about units of measure, see Units of Measure: General Information.
For each unit of measure, you can add a translation into other languages, one per locale enabled on the System Locales (SM200550) form.
If a customer is set up to receive printable documents in a different language—that is, if the Locale setting on the General tab of the Customers (AR303000) form has been set to a locale other than the default locale—the translated UOM description (if it exists for the selected locale) will appear on the following printable reports:
- ProInvoice/Memo (PM641000)
- Invoice/Memo (AR641000)
- Sales Quote (CR604500)
