UOM Literals Button

When translating UOM for different languages, the symbols displayed can vary from one language to another. To accommodate these variations, UOM attributes are now translated and you can now view UOMs per their selected default language. This will help with ease of use because you can make UI names specific to your language.

The following languages are supported:

Language Code Description
en_US English
es_CL Spanish
pt_BR Portugese
fr_CA Canadian French
zh_CN Chinese (Simplified)
tr_TR Turkish
th_TH Thai
ru_RU Russian
pl_PL Polish
ko_KR Korean
ja_JP Japanese
it_IT Italian
de_DE Deutsch
fr_FR French
zh_TW Chinese (Traditional)
hr_HR Croatian
cs_CZ Czech
sk_SK Slovak
uk_UA Ukrainian
nl_NL Dutch
fi_FI Finnish
no_NO Norwegian
sv_SE Swedish
ro_RO Romanian

From the UOM UI, click the UOM Literals button to add a literal. The UOM Literals button includes the following details:

  • The UOM literals button is available only when a UOM is selected
  • The UOM Literals UI includes the following columns:
  • UOM Code
  • Language Code
  • Translated UOM Code
  • Translated UOM description
  • Create User
  • Mod User
  • Create Timestamp
  • Modify Timestamp
Note: From the UOM Literals UI, you candefine the language specific UOM codes, characters, and UOM code. This UI provides you the ability to define the UOM's specific to the language for particular UOM.

For example, let’s say your UOM is “Cubed” and your Language Code is Español. You might want your Translated UOM code to be “Cub” and your Translated UOM description to be “Cubicado.”

Note: You can also use the UOM Literals API to create UOM literals for UOMs. For detailed API documentation, refer to the WMS REST API Guide.

A Derived UOM button (accessible from the UOM UI) allows you to view the associated (preseeded) area and volume relative to the UOM dimension and volume.

From the UOM UI, you can click the Derived UOM button to view the derived area and volume for the selected unit of measure. The area and volume information is displayed based on the literals value defined against the respective UOM's.

Note: If the predefined flag is set to Yes, you cannot change or delete the seeded values for Derived Volume UOM and Derived Area UOM against the dimension UOMs.
