Create and manage custom units for your products beyond the standard options. Perfect for specialized industries or unique inventory needs.

Getting Started

Default Units Available: The system includes standard units for Count (Units, Boxes, Packs, Pallets), Weight (Kilograms, Grams, Ounces, Pounds), and Volume (Liters, Gallons, Milliliters).

When to Use Custom Units
  • Your industry uses specialized measurements (e.g., reams for paper, bolts for fabric)
  • You need metric units not included by default (e.g., meters, centimeters)
  • Your products require unique counting methods (e.g., dozens, gross, sets)
Adding Custom Units
Quick Access: Tap the settings icon (⚙️) next to "Measurement Type" when adding or editing a product.
  1. Open any product in Add or Edit mode
  2. Tap the settings icon next to Measurement Type
  3. In the popup, select the Type (Count, Weight, or Volume)
  4. Enter the Value (short code, e.g., "m" for meters)
  5. Enter the Display Name (full name, e.g., "Meters")
  6. Tap Add Unit

Success! Your custom unit now appears in the dropdown when you select that measurement type.

Example: Adding "Meters" for fabric inventory
