|

Purchase units of measure
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
When you purchase a product, it may happen that your vendor uses a different unit of measure than
|
||||
when it is sold. This can cause confusion between sales and purchase representatives. It is also
|
||||
time-consuming to convert measures manually every time. With Odoo, you can configure your product
|
||||
once and let Odoo handle the conversion.
|
||||
|
||||
Consider the following examples:
|
||||
|
||||
#. You purchase orange juice from an American vendor, and they use **gallons**. However, your
|
||||
customers are European and use **liters**.
|
||||
|
||||
#. You buy curtains from a vendor in the form of **rolls** and you sell pieces of the rolls to your
|
||||
customers using **square meters**.
|
||||
|
||||
Enable units of measure
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
Open your Sales app and go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`. Under Product Catalog,
|
||||
enable *Units of Measure*.

|
||||
===========================================
|
||||
|
||||
Standard units of measure
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
A variety of units of measure are available by default in your database. Each belongs to one of the
|
||||
five pre-configured units of measure categories: *Length / Distance*, *Unit*, *Volume*, *Weight* and
|
||||
*Working Time*.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
You can create your new units of measure and units of measure categories (see next section).
|
||||
|
||||
To specify different units of measures for sales and purchases, open the Purchase app and go to
|
||||
:menuselection:`Products --> Products`. Create a product or select an existing one. Under the
|
||||
product's *General Information* tab, first select the *Unit of Measure* to be used for sales (as
|
||||
well as for other apps such as inventory). Then, select the *Purchase Unit of Measure* to be used
|
||||
for purchases.
|
||||
|
||||
Back to the first example, if you purchase orange juice from your vendor in **gallons** and sell it
|
||||
to your customers in **liters**, first select *L* (liters) as the *Unit of Measure*, and *gal (US)*
|
||||
(gallons) as the *Purchase Unit of Measure*, then click on *Save*.

||||

|

Create new units of measure and units of measure categories
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes you need to create your own units and categories, either because the measure is not
|
||||
pre-configured in Odoo or because the units do not relate with each other (e.g. kilos and
|
||||
centimeters).
|
||||
|
||||
If you take the second example where you buy curtains from a vendor in the form of **rolls** and you
|
||||
sell pieces of the rolls using **square meters**, you need to create a new *Units of Measure
|
||||
Category* in order to relate both units of measure.
|
||||
|
||||
To do so, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Units of Measure Categories`. Click on *Create*
|
||||
and name the category.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: uom/uom-new-category.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
:alt: Create a new units of measure category in Odoo Purchase
|
||||
|
||||
The next step is to create the two units of measures. To do so, click into the :guilabel:`Unit of
|
||||
Measure Category` field and enter a name for the category. Then, under the :guilabel:`Units of
|
||||
Measure` tab, click :guilabel:`Add a line`.
|
||||
|
||||
First, create the unit of measure used as the reference point for converting to other units of
|
||||
measure inside the category. Name the unit, and select the units of measure category you just
|
||||
created. For the *Type*, select *Reference Unit of Measure for this category type*. Enter the
|
||||
*Rounding Precision* you would like to use. The quantity computed by Odoo is always a multiple of
|
||||
this value.
|
||||
|
||||
In the example, as you cannot purchase less than 1 roll and won't use fractions of a roll as a unit
|
||||
of measure, you can enter 1.

||||

||||

|

:align: center
|
||||
:alt: Create a new reference unit of measure in Odoo Purchase
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: If you use a *Rounding Precision* inferior to 0.01, a warning message might appear stating
|
||||
that it is higher than the *Decimal Accuracy* and that it might cause inconsistencies. If you
|
||||
wish to use a *Rounding Precision* lower than 0.01, first activate the :ref:`developer mode
|
||||
<developer-mode>`, then go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Technical --> Database Structure -->
|
||||
Decimal Accuracy`, select *Product Unit of Measure* and edit *Digits* accordingly. For example,
|
||||
if you want to use a rounding precision of 0.00001, set *Digits* to 5.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, create a second unit of measure, name it, and select the same units of measure category as
|
||||
your reference unit. As *Type*, select *Smaller* or *Bigger than the reference Unit of Measure*,
|
||||
depending on your situation.
|
||||
|
||||
As the curtain roll equals to 100 square meters, you should select *Smaller*.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, you need to enter the *Ratio* between your reference unit and the second one. If the second
|
||||
unit is smaller, the *Ratio* should be greater than 1. If the second unit is larger, the ratio
|
||||
should be smaller than 1.
|
||||
|
||||
For your curtain roll, the ratio should be set to 100.
|
||||
|
||||
You can now configure your product just as you would using Odoo's standard units of measure.
