Ehors has three types of measurements. Each item must be assigned to PM, SM, & CM.
- PM - Purchase Measurement. This measurement is for your supplier, and this is the measurement that will be displayed on the PO.
- SM - Stock Measurement. This measurement will appear in the stock request program. Any mistake in the classification of the measurement might lead to a wrong order from the user.
- CM - Calculation Measurement. This measurement is your internal usage, it's not only for the usage of the recipe.
Remarks: Adding a new record affects all properties within the group. This means adding new records is all, editing and deleting are per property
FORMULA : PM X SM X CM = VOLUME
