List Different Units of Measure on Documents

Unit of Measure Overview | List Items on Documents: Overview

When listing items with multiple units of measure on documents the following rules apply:

- If unique UPC or alternate lookup values are defined for each unit and you are scanning bar codes or entering those unique values, the unit corresponding to the value entered is automatically listed with its associated price or cost.

- If the item does not have a unique UPC or alternate lookup, your default sell-by (receipt or customer order) or order-by (PO or voucher) unit is listed.

- If default units are not defined, your base unit is listed. Learn more about base and default units

- You can change the unit by clicking the Units button (on receipts and vouchers, shown above) or in the Unit of Measure field (PO, in item list) and selecting a different unit. PO Note: You may have to customize the columns in the item list if necessary to display this field.

- Quantities on the document reflect the selected unit. This may result in fractional quantities when the unit being sold is not the base unit. For example, if an item has bottles and case (12 bottles/case) defined as units, with bottle as the base unit, then with 15 bottles on-hand and listing a case on a receipt will show an on-hand quantity of 1.25.
