You can associate a given part with many different units of measure. You might order the given part as cases one time and in boxes the next. This would give you two different U/M From codes (Case and Box). To stock both orders into inventory as Each, you must convert from Case to Each and from Box to Each. This allows you to set up all possible combinations for the given part.
