Unit of measurement is used to create different types of measurements to be used throughout the application, such as Celsius, inches, and ounces. Consistency and ease of use are achieved by creating these units of measurement.
Unit Multiplier
For those units that represent a quantity greater than one, the Unit Multiplier feature is provided which allows the actual quantity of items included in the unit to be entered, such as dozen or kilogram (kg). Each time the unit is used, the application calculates the number of units entered by the unit multiplier. For example, when entering information in a product exception, 2 Dozen is recorded as the number of products affected. The application displays 24 as the actual quantity affected.
