To create a new UOM, click the New button. Each existing UOM is displayed in the search area on the left.
To import or export UOMs, click the More button near the top-right corner of the module.
UOM conversions can be entered by opening any UOM and then clicking the Add New Conversion button.
To import uoms from a spreadsheet or CSV file, click the More button at the top of the item list and choose Import UOMs.
To create a template file with the correct column headers, click Export UOMs.
The suggested order of CSV imports for new databases can be found here.
