8.1 Setting Up Unit of Measure Groups

Navigation

From Advanced Warehouse Management (G46), enter 29

From Warehouse Management General Setup (G4641), choose Unit of Measure Groups

A unit of measure group is a set of items in the same unit of measure that you want the system to process the same way. For example, if you have one thousand different items that you normally count in eaches, you can assign the items to the EACHES unit of measure group, so you do not have to individually define each item's unit of measure. This saves you time during warehouse setup. You can use unit of measure groups by assigning the groups to movement instruction tables to control inventory movement.

You can assign a unit of measure to only one unit of measure group.
