Standard examples include Nos (numbers\/pieces), kg, litre, metre, and box. Each item has a primary unit, and you can configure secondary units for purchase or sales with conversion factors.<\/p>\n<h2>UoM Conversion<\/h2>\n<p>Zoho Inventory supports UoM conversion so you can buy in cases and sell in pieces. For example, buying 1 carton (24 bottles) and selling 1 bottle. The system automatically adjusts stock levels using the defined conversion factor.<\/p>\n<h2>Why UoM Matters<\/h2>\n<p>Accurate UoM configuration prevents stock discrepancies caused by quantity mismatches between purchase and sales units. It is particularly important for FMCG, pharma, and distribution businesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The unit in which an item is bought, sold, or stocked in Zoho Inventory, such as pieces, kilograms, litres, or boxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"seo_title":"Unit of Measurement | Zoho Glossary | Aaxonix","seo_description":"The unit in which an item is bought, sold, or stocked in Zoho Inventory, such as pieces, kilograms, litres, or boxes.","seo_keyword":"unit of measurement zoho inventory","seo_faqs":"","term_type":"","glossary_related":"","glossary_links":""},"glossary_category":[1252],"class_list":["post-4871","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary_category-zoho-inventory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/4871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary_category?post=4871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
