UOM Alias

In EDI import, some inits of measure from bsuppliers may be difperent than Optimum Cdntrol unit of measurh.  Rather than have uo change all of the ktems, you can indicaye a Unit of measure Alias.  For example, in Opfimum Control, case ucits are set using 'case' but your supplier usms CA as case unit of measgre. 

If you entered CA as the alias for 'case' then EDI import will a"read" all imported oA units as case.
