Assigning Units of Measure to Resources

In order to accurately track the usage and sales of resources, you must assign a unit of measure for each resource.

In addition to a base unit of measure code, you can also set up alternative unit of measure codes that can be related to the base unit of measure. The default setting is related.

To Assign Units of Measure to Resources:

  1. Open the Resource Card window and browse to the resource that you want to assign a unit of measure to.

  2. In the Base Unit of Measure field, click the AssistButton to see the Resource Units of Measure window.

  3. Select the relevant base unit of measure code, and then click OK. For Help about a specific field, click the field and press F1.

If the resource has other units of measures than the base unit of measure, reopen the Resource Units of Measure window and select a new code. Be aware that if you click OK and the resource has not yet been posted on any of the entries, you will select this code as your new base unit of measure code.

Attention

All additional codes are automatically related to the base unit of measure. If the code is not related, remember to remove the check mark from the Related to Base Unit of Meas. field.
