Inventory Unit Measure

The Inventory Unit Measure form is found inside the Inventory Item form in the General tab by clicking on the ellipse button next to the Unit Measure field.  This form can store any number of units of measure that your company can create that will be used with that Inventory Item.  Inside this form you can create a new unit and define the quantity used in creating that unit of measure.

The Unit Measure field is a higher level feature and may not be necessary for all companies to use.  Even if a company may not need to use the Unit Measure form in detail, it is still necessary to use the default unit of measure, 'Each, which will be displayed on all line items throughout the program.  For complete details on all the field descriptions for this form and a step by step guide on how to enter new inventory unit measure, see: Adding Inventory Unit Measures

There are several helpful options that can be set in the Company Preferences form to help make data entry easier and faster.  One great feature in the Company Preferences form is to have the text fields displayed a certain way when you enter data so that it is easier to read and more consistent throughout the program.
