Item Unit of Measurement Configuration

Overview

SIMMS Inventory Management Software employs a multi-faceted and comprehensive Units of Measure feature. Individual items may have multiple units of measure created and assigned to them. Each receipt of items can employ default purchase units of measure while different units of measure can be employed for the items’ sales transactions.

The multiple units applied to each item can be established at the moment of the item’s creation within the system, and are based upon the premise of ratios — a conversion factor — such as 12 eaches in a box, 20 boxes in a case, 6 cases in a crate, 4 crates in a pallette. Once such ratio relationships have been established, the item may be purchased or sold in any of them.

For each other item you stock, specific and unique units can be assigned. Default units of measure can be assigned to each item for special sales, normal sale, normal purchase and/or standard usage (the most common unit used for the item), but the user retains the ability at any time to override any set default units. This simple but robust functionality makes SIMMS’ Units of Measure feature the simplest and most versatile one in today’s marketplace.

The unit of measure feature in SIMMS Inventory Software provides the means to:

Define unlimited units of measure such as "Each", "Case", "mm", "cm", "oz", etc.
Use our simple unit factor field to assign the conversion factor between units of measure. For example, the assignment is as easy as selecting a meter and millimeter and assigning a 1000 conversion factor (1m = 1000mm) and assigning that conversion factor to a specific item, each item can have a unique conversion factor.
Define a Standard unit of measure.
Define a Sales unit of measure.
Define a Purchase unit of measure.
Select the unit of measure you would like to sell an item in during a sale or when creating a purchase order and the conversion will automatically take place behind the scenes to reflect the unit of measure in which you normally stock the item.
Buy in one unit of measure, stock in another unit of measure and sell in a third different unit of measure without having to worry about any of the calculations.
