Multiple Units of Measurement (UoM) for a single product refer to the ability to measure and sell a product using different units of measurement. It means that a single product can be quantified, priced, and sold in multiple UoMs depending on the customer's preference or industry standards.

For example, a product like BEER can be sold in various UoMs such as Glass, Bottle, or Case. SalesPlay allows you to choose the appropriate unit for selling the product, and it handles the conversions and calculations between different UoMs seamlessly.

Here is the process.

1. Create Measurements:

First, go to Back Office PRODUCTS section and create a different type of measurement with values.

2. Create a product with Measurement:

During product creation, the POS system would provide options to select the UoM for the BEER product. (Check near the “Sold by each” dropdown)

3. Create a Composite Product:

During the composite product creation, it needs to Tick ON the “composite product” option and need to select a previously created product, and add the “Quantity” of the previously created product.

4. Create another Composite Product using already created Composite:

During this step, it needs to Tick ON the “composite product” option and need to select a previously created composite product, and add the “Quantity” of the previously created composite product.

5. Add Stocks

During inventory/stock adding / GRN, you should select the created MEASUREMENT type and its MoU correctly when adding.

Beer stocks arriving at the warehouse with cases must be added using the same measurement type/ option for stock addition.

Let's consider an example of a POS system that handles multiple Units of Measurement (UoM) for a “Beer” product:

UoM Setup:

• UoM 1: Beer Glass - A serving of beer in a glass. (5 Glasses using a bottle)
• UoM 2: Beer Bottle - A single beer bottle.
• UoM 3: Beer Case - A case contains 12 beer bottles.
