Unit Fields Based on Inventory Items

When you add a unit to a unit table based on an existing inventory item from the Add Unit dialog box, certain data is carried over to the Units grid of the unit table.

The following table shows how fields from the General tab of an inventory item (Settings > Purchasing & Inventory > Items Master, in the desktop application) are mapped to the fields in the Units grid of a new unit table and in its Add Units dialog box in Settings > Accounting > Units.
