Individual Settings - Units

The Units setting is included in the following Standard products:
  • Standard Accounts (Sales Ledger module)

  • Standard Contracts

  • Standard Invoicing

  • Standard POS
---

The "Unit" of an Item is the quantity to which its price refers. You might, for example, sell some Items singly, some in pairs and others in dozens. The single Item, the pair and the dozen are all separate Units. You can list the Units that are used in your business in the Units setting, thus making them available in a 'Paste Special' list. Having done so, you can assign Units to your Items using the Unit field in each Item record. For example, if an Item is sold in boxes of twelve, its Unit should be "Dozen". When the Item is included in an Invoice, the Quantity will refer to this Unit. If the Quantity in an Invoice is 2, this means "two boxes of twelve". The Price of the Item will also refer to this Unit. If the Price is 85.00, this means "85.00 for a box of twelve".

If you are using Standard Accounts, you will find the Units setting in the Sales Ledger module. Use the [Module] button in the Master Control panel to enter the Sales Ledger module to work with this setting. Then, as in every Standard product, open the setting by first clicking the [Settings] button in the Master Control panel and then double-clicking 'Units' in the 'Settings' list.The 'Units: Browse' window will be displayed, showing all Unit records previously entered. Double-click an item in the list to edit, or add a new record by clicking the [New] button in the Button Bar. When the record is complete, click the [Save] button in the Button Bar to save it.

Code
Enter the unique Code by which the Unit record is to be identified from elsewhere in your Standard application. You can enter up to five characters, and you can use both numbers and letters.

Comment
Here you enter the name for the Unit record as it will be shown in the 'Units: Browse' window and the 'Paste Special' list.
