UOM

UOM, unit of measure, is the unit an item is counted in: Nos, Kg, Litre, Metre, Box, Hour. Every Item has one stock UOM, the unit the Stock Ledger and valuation rate use, and may list extra UOMs with conversion factors so you can buy a Box of 12 and sell single Nos. Rates on documents are per the document UOM; BRAccount converts to the stock UOM before writing the stock ledger, so a Rs 1,200 box of 12 becomes 12 Nos at Rs 100. Choosing a wrong stock UOM at the start is painful, because it cannot be changed once stock transactions exist. Nothing posts from the UOM itself.

Stock qty = document qty x conversion factor; stock rate = document rate / conversion factor

1. 01Go to Stock > UOM > New (most common units are preinstalled).
2. 02Type the unit name and tick Must be Whole Number if fractions make no sense.
3. 03Save, then open the Item and set Default Unit of Measure before any transaction.
4. 04Add rows in the Item's UOM Conversion table for other buying or selling units.
5. 05On a receipt or invoice, pick the UOM on the row; the stock qty converts automatically.

Pick the stock UOM on each Item; add new units under Setup > UOM.

Chairs are counted in Nos.
