When you create a stock item, you should select a unit of measurement from any enabled unit of measurement groups.

You can change a unit of measurement of a stock item already added to the directory, but it must belong to the same group of measurement units as the original one does. This limitation is explained by the fact that the volume of a stock item can only be converted into units of measurement from the same group.

If required to switch to a unit of measurement from another group, appropriate changes should to be made to corresponding directories and documents related to this stock item. To do this, use the change units of measurement group task.

The operation can be launched from the context menu of the Stock items directory. The Change unit of measurement group command is enabled when only one stock item is selected in the table.

Then the filter wizard opens to enable the user to set all necessary filtering parameters. The filter wizard opens with the warning to notify the user that the changes made to directories and document lists will be applicable only to the current segment. Then comments will be made available to indicate in how many directories and documents the changes will be made as a result of the operation. The first step requires to approve the changes to be made to directories and/or documents.

When changing a unit of measurement the following directories are to be edited: Stock items , Menu , etc.). This is also applicable to the following documents: Stock-in records , Stock-out records , Stock movement records , Stock adjustment records , Production records , Butchering records , Development records , Sales records , Stocktaking records , Planned cost records .

Before launching the task please specify the objects that will be modified. The following options are available for processing:

If the first option is selected, the changes will be made only to the Stock items directory and other related directories. The second option makes it possible to make changes to all related directories and document lists. If the third option is selected, the operation will affect only the stock item and its specification: recipe, butchering recipe, substitutes, weight.

All documents in the list will be processed if they belong to open store periods. Processing will be stopped if at least one document belongs to a closed store period. The changes can be made to the directories in the course of the operation.

In case any problems occur while performing the task, for example, the access to change documents has been denied, all changes made will be canceled.

The Planned cost records list enables to recalculate the planned cost of stock items.

The second step of the wizard requires to specify the recalculation ratio to convert stock item volumes. The ratio determines the proportion of stock item volumes expressed in units of measurement belonging to different groups.

This ratio will be applied to all directories and document lists. The recalculation ratio must be an integer number.

The history of filter settings is not available for any filter step.
