Dear all, 

On Item cards, there is weight and volume but no unit of measure.

    How can I edit the unit of measure on the item card?

    In the top left hand corner of the item card, the Unit of Measure was originally IN and now we need it to be EA to better represent the current activities taking place with this item. I continue to get a "cannot change because one or more ledger entries for this item". Help.

    Hi Steven. When you receive, ship, invoive items, etc... you ask to the system to register "ledger entries". thanks of this, you know when and how much you sell to your customer or from your suppliers your items. As long as you have received, shipped, invoiced, etc items, you cannot change the unit of measure. The only way to do it is to creat a new item and transfer adjust quantities from old items to new item accordingly. Hope i helped you
