Unit of Measure Conversion Table

Purpose: The records within this table are used to buy or sell part numbers in units of measure that are not the stock unit of measure .

Purpose: This menu option provides access to an administrative table which maintains a list of units of measure specific to the particular part number. 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.

NOTE: Unit of measure conversions cannot be created for part numbers identified as serialized(adj) in Pentagon, the attribute of a part number in which each unit is assigned a unique designator, usually an alphanumeric string of characters, to distinguish a particular unit from all others.
