Defining a Unit of Weight for Items

If you do not use Inventory Control, you can specify a weight unit of measure (such as pounds or kilograms) that you will use for all items in the Purchase Orders item list.

Purchase Orders can use the weight unit of measure to prorate (distribute) additional costs on orders.

If you change the weight unit of measure, you need to update the weight in each previously added item record to make it consistent with the new weight unit of measure.

For example, suppose the weight unit of measure is kilograms and you add an inventory item that weighs one kilogram. If you then change the weight unit of measure to pounds, you need to change the item’s weight to 2.2 to agree with the new weight unit of measure.
