In the goods card, you can specify any number of units of measurement, in which the goods quantity in will be specified in documents and sets. Units of measurement are stored in a separate reference called Units of measurement located in Dictionaries > Goods.

In the dictionary, all units of measurement are divided into groups. Within the group of units of measurement, there are units the ratio between which does not depend on the goods. For example, 1 kg is always equal to 1000 g, 1 L is always equal to 1000 ml, etc.
In contrast to the groups of the Units of dictionary dictionary, the goods units of measurement, specified on the Units of measurement tab of the goods card, depend on the goods. So, 1 liter of milk can be equal, for example, to 995 grams, and 1 liter of yogurt can be equal to 1010 grams.

  • The base unit of measurement in a group of units of measure is the unit of measure against which the coefficients of other units of measure in this group will be calculated. The group's base unit factor is 1.
  • Within a group of units of measure, the assignment of the group's base unit of measure is mandatory.

The reference window "Units of measurement" is divided into two parts. In the left part of the Units of measurement window there are groups of units of measurement, in the right part of the window there are units of measurement belonging to these groups.

When you create the Store House database, some of the information on groups of units of measure and units of measure is preset.
There are three groups at once in the database: "Volume", "Portion" and "Weight". And for each group, standard (for the group) units of measurement are defined.
Volumetric - "L" and "ML". "ML" - basic in the group
Portion - "Portion"
Weight - "KG" and "G". "G" - basic in the group
