Learn how to implement this process below.

Creating a chain unit of measure

A chain unit of measure is a group of related units of measure, The units of measure are assigned to a main unit of measure at the chain level, and then the items are linked to a chain of units of measure.

You can create this type of unit of measure by following these steps:

  • Go to the warehouse module

  • Open "Unit of measures"

  • Choose "Chains"

Note: When selecting a unit of measure chain, a message will appear to warn you that it is not possible to change the type of units of measure once a transaction related to this choice has been created.

  • Click "New"

  • Enter the name of the chain

  • Click on the (+) sign to add a unit of measure

  • Enter the details for each unit (name and ratio)

  • Specify the main unit for the chains and the ratios to it

Note: It is preferred that the ratio of the main unit be one and for the main unit to be the smallest unit in the units of measure.

  • Click "Save"
