Manage Product Units
Different Products have different units. iconicERP allows you to add different units of products.
Adding Units
- Go to Products -> Units
- Give the unit name, a short name, and choose if want the unit to allow decimals.
Example:
Name: Meter
Short name: M.
Allow Decimal: Yes.
Allowing decimal allows you to purchase/Sell the product in decimal and vice-versa.

Multiple Units:
This can be useful if you purchase products in a different unit and sell it in a different unit.
For example: Purchase in dozens and sell in pieces.
Or purchase in boxes and sell in pieces.
Steps:
- Add the lower unit from Add Unit Screen. For example pieces.
- Add the higher unit as per the screenshot, Check “Add as multiple of the unit” and provide a conversion formula:

NOTE: You will not see the main Units (Dozen in this example) in the Add-Product Unit drop down, select piece as the unit of product. All purchases/sales get saved in the lower unit (pieces in the above example). So after adding purchases/sales if you edit the conversion details, it will affect the purchases/sales quantity accordingly.
Selecting relevant Sub Units for a products
For some products not all sub-units will be required. Suppose for example you sell Oranges only in Dozens or only in pieces then it will be useful.
Enable it from Business settings ->Products -> Enable relevant sub-units
Now when adding products select the Unit for the products and it will give option to select multiple applicable sub-units. Selecting the sub-units will allow you to do purchases or sales on this selected sub-units.
