Configuring Unit of Measure (UOM) in WMS

Unit of Measure is extremely important in inventory management as it quantifies inventory items in terms terms all parties can understand. If two parties are transacting on an inventory item, UOM defines how much and in what unit the quantity is expected. Also UOMs need to be standardized to make sure that all stakeholders especially across countries. Some countries might use Kilograms or kilometers and other countries might use pounds or miles.
