Overview

Use Unit of Measure Conversion Maintenance to define the relationships between various units of measure. For example, this task defines a gross as containing 12 dozen or 144 single units. For any given unit of measure, equivalent units of other measures are defined in this window. Because a gross, 12 dozen, and 144 single units all represent the same total number of items, each of these measurements is classified as equal.

You can use the conversion factors established for a unit of measure to automatically enter equivalent sales and purchase units of measure. The factors entered in this option are used in the Item Maintenance, Product Line Maintenance, and Transaction Entry tasks, as well as the Sales Order, Purchase Order, Bill of Materials, and Work Order modules.
