How to Setup Alternative Unit of Measure in Business Central

Dynamics 365 Business Central

The article discusses how to configure different units of measure in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central without showcasing inventory in decimals.
The first step is to choose the base unit of measure as PCS instead of a higher unit like DOZEN or CARTONS, to avoid decimal values in inventory.
The article then explains how to set up alternative units of measure by going to the Item Unit of Measure page and adding new lines for DOZEN and CARTONS, along with the corresponding quantity per unit of measure.
Once the unit of measure configuration is set, the article demonstrates how to perform transactions using the alternative units of measure, such as purchasing 100 dozen and selling 7 cartons, which are automatically converted into the base unit of measure (PCS) by Business Central.
The result is that the inventory is displayed without any decimal values.
The conclusion of the article is that alternative units of measure can be effectively used in Business Central.
