Introduction
Unit of Measurement is defined as a standard quantity or a standard size that is used for inventory measurement. It’s a physical unit (like kg, dozen, meter etc.) in which retailers measure and manage different inventory items. This means that one product can have multiple units of measure.
For example: A coke can be managed in different UOM like CAN, BOX (12 cans), CARTON (24 cans) ... Similarly a shirt can be managed in different UOM like EACH, PAIR (2 shirts), BOX (6 Shirts) and so on. Different UOMs can be used for different retail transactions. Each product may have a different stocking unit of measure, different sales ordering unit of measure and a different purchasing unit of measure.
Plugins in Tagrain are either Subscription Based or License Based. So the price that you pay for your plugins is based on the number of POS terminals that you have in your setup and the number of licences that you have acquired.
Once activated, you cannot deactivate the Multiple Units of Measure plugin because deactivating the plugin would affect the entire master data and all the transactions across the application leading to rounding off discrepancies.
Features
Multiple Units of Measurement Plugin is a software module that seamlessly integrates with Tagrain and allows retailers to further extend the capabilities of their edition. It allows them to add additional features to the existing Tagrain application. Some of the prominent ones are explained in the section below:
Define and Manage Multiple Units of Measure
This Plugin allows retailers to define multiple Units of Measure (UoM) for a single product, giving them the flexibility to maintain inventory in their choice of UoM.
Sell products in different UoM
This Plugin allows retailers to sell a product in multiple UoM. For example: A shirt can be sold in different Units of Measure like a BOX (6 Shirts), Pair (2 Shirts) and so on.
Purchase products in different UoM
This Plugin allows retailers to purchase a product in multiple UoM. For example: A retailer may purchase a box of Shirt (6 Pieces) and sell it in pairs or a single piece.
