In this article we look at how to setup and use Units of Measure introduced in Jiwa version 7.0.175.

 

Inventory Maintenance

When creating your new inventory item the unit of measure is set on the Unit of Measure (UoM) tab.

The Stock Keeping Unit represents the units in which stock levels are held in Jiwa.

 

 

Adding Units of Measure

All UoM’s are based on the stock keeping unit, so it is important that the decimal places are set correctly if you intend to sell in quantities that are smaller than your stock keeping unit as in the example below.

The units inner quantity measure, kilos in this example is entered in the Quantity Inners field for the UoM
