Unit Of Measurement Sets
Unit of Measurement Sets allow you to define a base unit for a product and create conversions to other measurement options - such as each, box, case, or pallet. Once created, a measurement set can be assigned to catalog items, giving customers the flexibility to select their preferred ordering quantity directly from the product page.
Enabling the Feature
- Navigate to Settings
- Locate and enable Unit of Measurement Sets
- Once enabled, a new UoM Sets menu item appears under the Catalogs menu
Creating and Configuring Sets
Access the UoM Sets screen to create and manage your measurement configurations:- Base Unit: Define the fundamental unit of measure (e.g., "Each")
- Related Units: Add additional units with their conversion ratios (e.g., "Box = 12 Each", "Case = 48 Each")
- Abbreviations: Set customer-friendly labels for each option
Assigning to Catalog Items
Unit of measurement sets can be assigned to products through two methods:- Individual Assignment: Edit a catalog item and select the measurement set from the sidebar options
- Bulk Assignment: Use the Item Template CSV file to assign measurement sets across multiple items simultaneously
Customer Experience
When a unit of measurement set is assigned to a catalog item, customers ordering through the B2B eCommerce portal see a dropdown menu displaying all available unit options. This allows them to select their preferred quantity format before adding the item to their cart.
