      \n
    • Create new UOMs (e.g., PCS, BOX, DOZEN, KG)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Define conversion rules<\/strong> between base and alternate UOMs (e.g., 1 BOX = 12 PCS)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Assign UOMs to products<\/strong>, purchase orders<\/strong>, and sales orders<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Set default UOM<\/strong> for each item<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Map UOMs to vendor-specific or customer-specific needs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Pre-Requisite Activities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Identify all required UOMs used in procurement, warehousing, and billing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Determine conversion rates between UOMs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Ensure product master is ready for UOM assignment<\/li>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Every product must have a Base UOM<\/strong> defined<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Alternate UOMs must have a defined conversion factor<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • UOM must be consistent across all transactions (GRN, Sales, PO)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • UOM changes after transactions are restricted unless approved<\/li>\n\n\n\n
