Use this screen to establish standard units of measure and their conversions. A unit of measure identifies how the quantity of an item is measured. You can set up part-specific units of measure conversions in the Basic Part Data screen.
Set up this screen during initialization and maintain it whenever units of measure codes are established or modified. You can also use this screen to add additional conversions for existing codes.
Enter a unit of measure code containing up to three alphanumeric characters. You will assign a units of measure code to each item in the appropriate screen: Basic Part Data, Services, or Goods. The unit of measure for an item will also default into the purchase order line but can be changed there if necessary. This field is required.
Enter a unit of measure code description containing up to 30 alphanumeric characters. This field is required.
Use this pushbutton to open the Conversion subtask, where you can create units of measure conversions.
