Unit of Measure Creation: Configuration Prerequisites

Before starting to create inventory entities, such as item classes and stock items, you must be sure that the system has been configured properly and that required units of measure have been created, as described in the following sections.

Enabling the Needed Features

On the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, the Multiple Units of Measure feature must be enabled. By enabling this feature, you can use different units of measure as base, sales, and purchase units for item classes and stock items.

Configuring the System

Before you start creating units of measure and conversion rules, you need to make sure that, on the Companies (CS101500) form, the required decimal precision has been specified in the Quantity Decimal Places box.
