Amalgamate UOM (unit of measure)

 

This powerful tool can be used from time to time to clean up your units of measure. There are times that the same unit of measure gets entered into your database multiple times.  This clutters up lists and affects conversions and of course, reports.

Caution: Be very careful when using this function as it will blend two units of measure together leaving the master only. You can do serious damage to your data if not done correctly and carefully.

1.     Click Settings settings-24x24  (upper left corner)

2.     Choose Utilitiesutilities-24x24

3.     Select Amalgamate UOM

4.     Indicate the type of unit you wish to amalgamate.  You can only Amalgamate the same types of units.

5.     Choose the unit you want to keep from the Master Uom.

6.     From the Duplicate Uom you will be able to choose units that have conversions to be similar.

7.     Once both selected click Amalgamate.  All items or recipes with the secondary unit will now be listed with the Master unit.
