Setting up Units of Measure
To access the Unit of Measure Settings, click on the button at the top right corner of the screen → Settings → Units of Measure. Here you will see two tabs: Units of Measure and Units of Measure Presets.
Units of Measure
The list is pre-filled with several default units of measure, indicated with a checkmark in the Is Default column. While the default units cannot be changed, you can freely add, edit, and delete new ones. If you edit a unit of measure, it will be updated across all items and presets that use it.
Units of Measure Presets
The list provides an overview of the units of measure presets with their names, base units, and related units in dedicated columns. It is pre-filled with default units of measure presets, which cannot be changed. However, you can clone them, just like any units of measure presets, if you want to edit what you already have instead of starting from scratch. For custom presets, it is also possible to edit and delete them. These actions are available in the Action column.
Units of Measure Presets can be very helpful to quickly populate units for your products. For instance, if a significant portion of your inventory arrives in boxes containing 20 individual pieces, creating a single preset with 'each' and 'box,' with a conversion ratio of 20, simplifies the process. You can then effortlessly apply this preset to all relevant items. Let's delve into the detailed steps of creating units of measure and presets.
