Units of Measure

This window allows you to enter Units of Measure.  The unit of measure is the unit by which an item is priced.

The Units of Measure selection appears on all Maintenance menus for most plug-ins so it is discussed here, rather than in each individual plug-in reference.

Select File > Maintenance > Units of Measure to display the Units of Measure window. 

This window shows a grid containing two columns: UOM (Unit of Measure) and Symbol. The UOM column contains a full description of the measurement unit, while the Symbol column is an abbreviation of the unit.

Use the function buttons to add, edit, and delete units of measure.

  The Add function allows you to create a new unit of measure. When you select the Add function, the New Unit of Measure window displays, which only has fields for entering the unit’s symbol and name.

Select (highlight) the unit of measure you want to edit, and then select the Edit button. A similar window displays as described above for the Add function (the title reads “Edit” instead of “New”), where you can make changes to the existing information.

Immediately deletes the selected unit of measure. A window will display prompting you to confirm the deletion.
