Creating a Unit of Measure

Learn how to create Unit of Measure in the OctoPOS

A unit of measure is used to sell and purchase products with different units. For example, you can have a product called Bud Light 10oz with single bottle as a unit, or 6 Pack as a unit. They both can have different prices and barcode, yet it’s just same product.
