Unit of Measure List

Purpose: This menu option provides access to an administrative table which maintains a list of units of measure. A unit of measure is required for use in almost every document within the system. An individual unit of measure is used to describe a standard quantity of a physical property. This table also contains a field which stores the unit of measure Factor, which allows units of measure to be converted from one to another.

Field Definitions

  1. Code field - Enter a unique code for the unit of measure value.
  2. Name field - Enter a description of the unit of measure value.
  3. Factor field - This field stores a value which allows the system to convert one unit of measure to another.

    [EXAMPLE]
    - The unit of measure EA has a factor of 1
    - The unit of measure HD has a factor of 100
    - Your organization stocks part number ABC by EA (because that is the unit of measure in which the item is most usually used and sold)
    - Your vendor only sells part number ABC by HD
    - When the lot is received into the warehouse, the system converts the price from the receiver based upon the unit of measure HD to a cost within the warehouse based upon the unit of measure EA
    - the ratio of HD to EA is 100:1; therefore, the system divides the price per HD by 100 to result in the cost per EA
    - if the part was purchased by EA but stocked in HD, then the ratio would be 1:100 and the system would multiply the price per EA to result in the cost per HD

    NOTE: The system utilizes this factor for pricing purposes only. The unit of measure conversion factors for quantity are maintained with the Unit of Measure Conversion Table within the part master record.
  4. Spec 2000 field - (to be verified)
  5. Memo field [large field (not labeled) at the bottom of the window)] - Enter any notes relevant to the selected class.
