UOM in retail stands for Unit of Measurement, which is used to indicate the measurement unit of a product that is sold or managed within the system. For example:
Product | UOM (Unit of Measurement) | Description |
Mineral water | Bottle | Sold per bottle |
Rice | Sack | Sold per sack |
Tshirt | Pcs | Sold per pcs |
The function of UOM itself is to define the unit of transaction so that the system knows whether the price applies per piece, per kilogram, per box, etc.
