Create a Unit of Measurement

How to Create a Unit of Measurement in Muhasib ERP

Overview

This guide will help you add a reusable base unit for item quantities.

The unit becomes selectable as an item's base unit and may participate in item-specific conversions.

Who can do this

You need access to Unit of Measure and Unit of Measure Add.

Before you start

Agree on a short, unambiguous unit name such as Each, Box, Kilogram, or Litre. Avoid creating aliases for an existing unit.

Before saving, check that the correct company is open and that you have permission to complete this task.

Where to find it

Back Office → Items & Advanced Inventory → Unit of Measurement.

Check your work

Create or edit a disposable item and confirm the unit appears once with the intended wording.

Take a moment to check your work before closing the window. This small check can save time later.
