Unit of Measure
A unit of measure (UOM) allows you to measure the amount of an item in
the database in a structured and distinct unit. Units of measure define a
base unit of measurement such as each, and then higher increments of the
base unit such as carton, bundle, and case. When you enable the multiple
units of measure feature in the System Options form\Features tab, you are
able to list the valid units of measure at the Units of Measure Lookup table;
define them for an item in the Item Data form; and use them when receiv-
ing item orders into the system. Listing them in the Units of Measure
Lookup table makes them available as UOM selections in IntelliTrack
WMS. If you plan to implement multiple units of measure, it is important
to accurately list these measurements at this table so that they are available
in the IntelliTrack WMS application when entering item data and receiving
orders. To add, edit, or delete a unit of measure from the Units of Measure
Lookup table, please refer to the sections that follow.
Note: When you enable the Multiple UOM feature, your system contains
the default {Each} value to represent the each quantity of one (1). If you
want to use a different value to represent the each quantity of one, you may
delete the default value and enter your own value. Before deleting any
UOM value, make sure that the system is not using this value for any items
in inventory. (Deleting a UOM value from this table, does not delete it from
any items that may be using it.) For more information about deleting a
UOM value from the Units of Measure Lookup table, please refer to
“Delet-
ing a Unit of Measure” on page 67 . For more information on defining a unit
of measure for an item, please refer to “Establishing an Item Unit of Mea-
sure Range” on page 116 .
