After you have created the UoM type, you can start creating Unit of Measure for it.

In the UoM Type details page, you can either delete the UoM Type, create the UoM for it or change the name of UoM Type.

You must create a Base Unit for the UoM first. (The base unit must has the conversion rate = 1, so that other UoM can be converted to each other through the Base Unit).

Example for conversion rate:

If the UoM Type is weight, and your base unit is kg, this is how you should set up your unit of measure:

+ kg conversion rate = 1

+ tons conversion rate = 1000. Which means that 1 tons = 1000 kg

+ g conversion rate = 0.001. Which means that 1 g = 0.001 kg
