The unit of measure (UOM) represents the physical form into which the item is packed.

 

•Up to 4 characters may be entered for the product's unit of measure.

• Enter the product's unit of measure or click the drop-down button to choose one from the drop down list.

 

 

The automatic breaking of cases feature in the entrée system will only work with the following predefined units of measure.

 

    CASE     PC.     LB.     HALF    QRTR

 

 

•The item's unit of measure does not necessarily determine how the product sold.

 

 

 

To set up a roast beef item which is sold by the pound, but it is packed in a CASE:

 

1.Set the unit of measure to CASE.

 

2.Enable the Price by Weight option.

 

3.Define the Average Weight for the roast beef if the weight varies from case to  case or the Constant Weight if every case weighs the same.

 

 

The Cost/Price Update utility was modified in version 3.6.6 so the "PC." item will not be updated unless it is explicitly defined in the "Piece Item Number" field of the "CASE" item. In version 3.6.6 or later if the "Piece Item Number" value is blank on a given "CASE" item the program will actively look for a "PC." item in the Cost/Price Update utility.
