The Item Unit of Measure (ITEM_UM) table stores the unit of measure in which the part can be expressed. The Unit of Measure associated with the part can vary in terms of inventory, ordering, and selling.
The application cannot process Item U/M Line Types unless the Item table (ITEM) exists. This Line Type is not processed if the Item Type (in the ITEM table) is an S (Service) or G (Good), as goods and services do not have U/M rows populated. You can have two Item U/M Line Type lines per ITEM_ID. If neither is provided, Costpoint creates the values using the Default U/M from the Item table (that is, one for S (Selling) and one for O (Order)). Inventory U/M Types are not accepted. A part must have three U/M type lines per PART_KEY (inventory, sales, and order).
You can view or update the information stored in this table on the Units of Measure subtask of the Manage Parts screen.
