The units system records information about the units of measure used in Phoenix. If you are using the Phoenix Production modules in conjunction with Phoenix Financial the units system is shared between the programs. By default, virtually all units of measure will be already setup. However if there is a specific unit that is not in the list then you can create it:
•Click Setup from the dropdown menu and select Units.
• Click the Add button to start a new record.
•Enter the details for the new unit on the right hand side.
•The Factor is the relationship of the new unit to all other units of that type. For example, if creating a new unit for length, then the base unit is 1 metre (1.000000). The factor for the new unit is how many metres go into the new unit.
•Click Save
NB: You can filter the units shown in Cropping by ticking/unticking the Make available in Production module option.
