Order UOM (unit of measure)
This is the unit of measure in which you are shipping item quantities for the detail. The program displays the default order unit of measure specified on the Processing tab on the Options form.
The default order unit of measure may be either the stocking unit or the pricing unit. Stocking units and pricing units are defined for individual items in Inventory Control, and they may be different. For example, you may use "dozen" as the stocking unit for an item, but "each" as the pricing unit.
In Sage ERP Accpac 500, you can define multiple pricing units of order. If the Order UOM does not match a defined pricing UOM, Order Entry uses the default pricing unit of measure set in the Item Pricing form in Inventory Control.
You can change the Order Unit Of Measure by typing the name or choosing it from the Finder. You must specify a unit of measure that is assigned to the item record in Inventory Control.
Make sure the number of units you specify for the detail is expressed in the unit of measure you choose.
