UoM stands for Unit of Measurement. Some examples of UoM include Numbers (Nos), Kilograms (Kgs), Liters, Meters, Boxes, Cartons, and more.

Certain UOMs cannot have fractional values. For instance, if an item is measured in Numbers (Nos), you cannot have 1.5 televisions, or 3.7 computer sets. The quantity for these items must be a whole number.

You can adjust whether a particular UoM allows values in decimal places. By default, decimal values are permitted for all UOMs. To restrict decimal values or fractions for a specific UoM, follow these steps.
