Windows used to manage units of measurement:
All of these windows are opened from the context menu of the directory.
The editor window is opened by the command and allows one or more units of measurement to be edited.
If one unit of measurement is selected, the window will open. The editor window will contain the Properties and Access panels.
The Properties panel is composed of the following fields:
Unit of measurement group – name of the group that the unit of measurement belongs to. Required field.
Name – name of the measurement unit. Required field.
Description – brief description.
Any additional information can be entered in this field.
Ratio – recalculation ratio that sets the correspondence between the selected unit of measurement and the base unit of measurement. Required field.
The ratio defines the relation between the primary unit of measurement and multiple supplementary units of measurement that can be used in different stock-in and stock-out operations carried out in stores. For example, it is convenient to register vegetables on stores using kilograms, but when preparing dishes it would be advisable to measure vegetables in grams.
For example, if the base unit of measurement is litre, the ratio for millilitre will be 0.001 and the ratio for glass will be 0.25. The default value is 1.
Format – number format for displaying volumes expressed in the unit of measurement. The format is applied to directories and store documents.
The symbols «#», «0», «.» and «,» are used to define number formats. The «#» symbol means that only significant digits will be made available in the box. The «0» symbol means that decimal digits will also be displayed. The «.» symbol stands for the decimal point. The first decimal point determines where the integer part of the value is separated from its fractional part. All the subsequent decimal points «.» will be ignored. The «,» symbol is used to divide the integer part of the value into groups of 3 digits, into orders of one thousand.
The number of digits after the decimal point defines the accuracy to which values are rounded. For example, if the number format is #.00 kg, then 2 kg of beetroots will be displayed like beetroots 2.00 kg, while 0.5 kg of carrots will be displayed like carrots .50 kg.
