Units

In inventory management, units of measure (UOM) refer to the standard units used to quantify and track the quantity of items in stock. Different items may be measured and managed in various units depending on their nature, characteristics, and how they are bought, sold, or stored.

The units of measure are predefined based on standard industry conventions and common measurement units. However, we allow users to add new units of measure as needed to accommodate specific business requirements.

Default Unit

When you establish the default unit of measure at the account level options, it applies to new items created within that account.
