Inventory items can have both a base unit, as well as an additional unit. The base unit is the unit that the inventory item is consumed in. This is the primary unit used for inventory accounting in the system. It is used for calculations, reporting, and automatic conversion between units of measurement.
The additional unit is another unit the inventory item might be measured in. Typically the additional unit is the unit that the inventory item is purchased in. A product in inventory may have multiple additional units. For example, Axial might have a base unit of liters and an additional unit of a 80L drum. They are used to simplify inventory management operations and enable automatic conversion, facilitating record-keeping in convenient formats without the need for manual recalculation.
When creating an inventory product, you may want to customize the units that a specific product comes in. To add additional units to the catalogue in CWO select WMS in the black left side menu, then select Units.
