responsibilities have access to all organizations. Once you have restricted any

What is Unit of measure class?
Unit of measure classes
represent groups of units of measure with similar characteristics. Each unit of
measure you define must belong to a unit of measure class.
Each class has a base
unit of measure. The base unit of
measure is used to perform conversions between units of measure in the class.
What is the need for UOM?
Units of measure are
used by a variety of functions and transactions to express the quantity of
items.
Primary Unit of Measure
The primary unit of
measure is the stocking unit of measure for an item in a particular organization.
The primary unit of measure is an item attribute that you specify when defining
each item.
Can you delete a unit of measure:
You can delete existing
units of measure that are not base units of measure if no standard or item
specific conversions are defined.
