Additional stock item units of measurement for different document types

Additional stock item units of measurement for different document types

For stock items, you can specify additional units of measurement to be applied along with the main unit. These units of measurement are used for stock control in various store operations. For example, the receipt of flour is more conveniently calculated in sacks, while the stock-out, movement and deduction should be described in kilogrammes. At the same time, in recipes and when developing new dishes, you might find it more convenient to use grammes.

The stock item window now contains a new panel: Additional units of measurement. Here you can select stock item units of measurement for different store document types. If additional units of measurement are indicated, they are used by default when you add the stock item to documents of this type.
