How to Setup Units

To setup units, you can open the "Units" menu on the sidebar under Inventory section.

What is the units feature?
The Units feature is used to set the units used for each item in the inventory module, such as pieces, grams, milliliters, and others. On this page, you can see a list of units along with their names, codes, conversion factors, base units, and categories. The Conversion Factor is used to determine the conversion value to the base unit (for example, 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams), so that the system can calculate stock automatically. Through this feature, you can also add, search for, and manage units according to operational needs so that stock records are more accurate and consistent.
