You can provide an item's weight and dimensions for shipping and storage purposes. You can also configure any alternate pricing and ordering units of measure an item may have.
To set up an item's measurements:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Weight | Enter the item's numerical weight and select its unit of measure (for example, lbs.) from Weight UOM. |
Length | Enter the item's numerical length and select its unit of measure (for example, inches) from Length UOM. |
Width | Enter the item's numerical width and select its unit of measure (for example, inches) from Width UOM. |
Height | Enter the item's numerical height and select its unit of measure (for example, inches) from Height UOM. |
Pricing | |
Pricing UOM Is Different From Inventory UOM | Select Pricing UOM Is Different From Inventory UOM, if this item uses a different unit of measure for pricing calculations than the unit of measure associated with the actual inventory product item. For example, you are creating a product item called Apples. Apples are inventoried and sold as a unit of measure called Cases. However, the pricing is determined by the weight of each case. In this scenario, you would assign the product item Apples the inventory unit of measure Cases and the pricing unit of measure type as Weight. |
Pricing UOM | If you selected Pricing UOM Is Different From Inventory UOM, select the unit of measure you want to use to price this item. |
Default Pricing UOM Conversion Factor | Enter the conversion rate from the inventory unit of measure to the pricing unit of measure. For example, a product item Apples has an inventory unit of measure of Case and a pricing unit of measure of Pounds. In this scenario, if Apples are inventoried and sold as 10 lb. cases, you would enter "10" as the conversion factor. |
Alternate UOMs | A list of alternate units of measure used by the item ID/unit of measure combination you are defining. For more information about alternate ordering units of measure, see Adding an alternate unit of measure to a product item. |
UOM | The unit of measure. |
Quantity | The conversion rate from the inventory unit of measure to the alternate unit of measure. |
Ordering UOM | Indicates that the unit of measure can be used in the selling environment. |
