Units Of Measure

Purpose and when to use this record

Define the units in which items are bought, stocked, produced, and sold, including their role in quantity conversion.

At a glance

• Identify it by: Name.

• Why care: Warehouse, item, unit, quantity, and cost must describe the same physical movement. A wrong warehouse or unit can make availability and valuation misleading.

Before you begin

You need the Brisk permission for the action you are taking on units of measure. If a Create, Edit, or Delete control is absent, do not work around it with another user’s account; ask an administrator to review your role.

Create an Unit of Measure

Create an Unit of Measure after searching for the person, organization, item, location, or resource under alternate names and identifiers. Merge or correct an existing master record instead of creating a duplicate.

1. Select the business context first.

2. Enter the required identifying and operational values: Name.

3. Review Weight against the source document or approved setup decision.

4. Save the Unit of Measure, then confirm Name on its detail page before continuing.

After saving: Verify this Unit of Measure in Commodity Items, Discount Schedules, Item Assemblies, and Item Assembly Lines, plus the remaining screen fields before staff build new activity on it; correct ownership, classification, and active state now rather than after transactions accumulate.

Delete an Unit of Measure

Delete this Unit of Measure only if it is an unused duplicate or setup mistake. Once other records refer to it, preserve that history and make the value inactive when the screen provides that option.

Before confirming, check for related Commodity Items, Discount Schedules, Item Assemblies, Item Assembly Lines, and Item Rows, plus the remaining screen fields. Brisk may refuse deletion when another record depends on this one; resolve the duplicate or use the supported correction workflow instead of breaking the trail.

On the confirmation page, verify Name. After confirmation, return to the Units of Measure list and make sure only the intended Unit of Measure was removed.

Review Unit of Measure details

Use the detail page as the shared record of what this Unit of Measure currently means. Verify Name, and Weight before relying on it for a decision.

Compare the Unit of Measure with its source document or approved setup request before deciding that it needs correction.

Next check: Verify this Unit of Measure in Commodity Items, Discount Schedules, Item Assemblies, and Item Assembly Lines, plus the remaining screen fields before staff build new activity on it; correct ownership, classification, and active state now rather than after transactions accumulate.

Edit an existing Unit of Measure

Edit this Unit of Measure to keep the same real-world party, item, location, or resource accurate. Do not repurpose it for a different entity after activity is attached.

1. Open the detail page. Compare Name with the supporting document or approved request.

2. Recheck the identifying information shown on the screen. These values are most likely to change warehouse availability, replenishment, quantities, and valuation.

3. Save the change, return to the list, and confirm that the Unit of Measure now appears under the expected Name.

After the change: Verify this Unit of Measure in Commodity Items, Discount Schedules, Item Assemblies, and Item Assembly Lines, plus the remaining screen fields before staff build new activity on it; correct ownership, classification, and active state now rather than after transactions accumulate.

• The values look right but the result is wrong: Compare this Unit of Measure with the source document or approved setup decision, then check the downstream screen where it is used.
