This powerful tool can be used from time to time to clean up your UOM. If the same UOM gets entered into your database multiple times, it will clutter up lists, affect conversions and of course, reports.
Be cautious when using this function as
it will blend two UOM together leaving the Master only. You can cause serious
damage to your data if not done correctly and carefully. Once done, this
operation cannot be recovered.
To Amalgamate UOM:
1.
Click Settings (upper left corner).
2.
Choose Utilities.
3.
Select Amalgamate UOM .
4. Select the UOM Type (e.g. Unit, Volume, Weight) you wish to amalgamate from the drop-down list.
NOTE: 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 have been selected, click Amalgamate (top right).
8.
Click Yes when the Warning
appears asking if you want to continue with the
operation. All Items or Recipes with the Secondary (unit you didn’t want) unit
will now be listed with the Master unit. (the unit you want to keep)
