Base Unit

Any configured Unit of Measure

The Unit of Measure that will use to track quantities of the Item. The Base Unit should correspond to the quantity that the item is purchased in.

For example: If your organisation buys popcorn kernels in 20kg bags, select KILOGRAM as the Base Unit.

Note: You may need to create an appropriate Unit of Measure.

Warning! Do not modify this option after creating the item. Modifying the base unit will result in inaccurate historical reporting.

Selling Unit

Any configured Unit of Measure

The quantity in which your organisation normally sells the Item.

For example: For cola syrup, or other items that are not sold directly, choose the same unit as the Stock Unit. For chocolate bars or other items that are sold individually, choose EACH.

Stock Unit 1

Any configured Unit of Measure

A Unit of Measure that can be used during Stocktake Entry, and selected when entering Stock Receipts and Adjustments.

This is also the unit of measure that will be used in Reports.

For example: If your organisation moves 60 litres of cola syrup per week, units of 1L or 20L may be appropriate. Units of mL would produce numbers in the tens of thousands in the report.

Note: It is advisable to choose a unit that will produce numbers of a reasonable magnitude on reports.

Stock Unit 2-4

Any configured Unit of Measure

Additional Unit of Measure can be configured for use during Stocktake Entry, and selected when entering Stock Receipts and Adjustments.
