Units of measure for enhanced model products
Key Takeaway
A product can have several units of measure (UoMs) arranged in a hierarchy. Each UoM record stores how many pieces of that unit make up one larger parent unit of the same product, such as 24 cans per case.
A unit of measure (UoM) is the standard unit used to count a product's quantity, such as a single can or a case. In Agentforce Consumer Goods, each product can carry several UoMs arranged in a hierarchy. The hierarchy runs from the smallest unit up to the larger units that hold it. UoMs drive order entry, quantity rounding, barcode scanning, and basic pricing.
Units of measure on a product
A product's UoM is the standard of measurement of its quantity. Any other quantity of the product is expressed as multiples of that UoM. UoMs are also called logistical units. Because UoMs are part of product master data, they support accurate price calculation, availability for order taking, and efficient product distribution.
You can define multiple UoMs for the same product, such as a Consumer Unit and a Sales Unit. Each UoM has a "Unit Type". The options include Consumer Unit, Sales Unit, Layer, and Pallet.
