Units of measure

Every item requires three units of measure:

• Base unit. This is how the item is tracked in the system. Typically, this is the smallest unit of measure. For example, millilitres for Coke syrup.
• Selling unit. This is the unit the item is sold in. For example, Each for candy bars.
• Default order unit. This is the unit the item is ordered from the vendor in. For example, Boxes for candy bars.

If the unit values you need are not already configured, you can set them up in Cinema Manager > Maintenance > Units of Measure.
