Contains the unit of measure code the program must use when you purchase the item. It is automatically filled in, when you fill in the Base Unit of Measure. Choose the field to see a list of available unit of measure codes.

You should only change this field if you buy the item in units that differ from the code in the Base Unit of Measure field. In this case, you must also set up the appropriate conversion factor in the Item Unit of Measure table.

Important
If you do not use the base unit of measure, or if you delete the purchase unit of measure on the item card, the Unit of Measure Code field will not be filled out on the purchase line.
