This feature provides an opportunity to set up multiple “Unit of Measurement” (UM) for the same product.

This also allows to define the sale price, cost and discount for each Unit of Measurement (UM).

An example of Multi UM includes a business Selling LED bulbs in three different packing.

1. Piece – Base unit
2. Boxes = 10 Pieces
3. Carton = 100 Pieces

A customer can buy in any of these Units. The inventory management and sales with UM is so with Fast Accounts.

1. How to Add Multi Units

Once the product has been added, you can add Multi-Units.

From the Action Menu select Add Multi-Unit. This will open Multi Unit Screen.

You will note that Base Unit is already appearing in the list, Select the additional UM Units and add the rest of the information as necessary. At the end press Save and Close.

You can add further Multi-Unit later on by selecting Add Multi-Units from Action Menu.

On this screen, there is option to Archive a UM-Unit which is no longer relevant and you can also make it active again at any time. This is in particularly useful for the promotional Unit of Measurement e.g. Box12 with 12 Pieces during offer period and after offer finished this can be archived.

It is important to note once a UM Unit has been used in any transaction it cannot be delete.

You can only link UM Unit with product which has a Base Unit linked to it.

There is also an option to add Multi Units data via Excel Spreadsheet.
