Stock item unit of measurement groups directory

Stock item unit of measurement groups directory

Groups are used to combine stock item units of measurement. Using recalculation ratios, they can be converted from one into another if the quantity of a stock item is specified. For example, it is convenient to register vegetables in stores using kilograms, but when preparing dishes it makes more sense to measure vegetables in grams. Both of these units must belong to the same group.

The Stock item unit of measurement groups directory is used to manage unit of measurement groups.
