QuickBooks POS: Create Item with Multiple Units of Measure

Today we’re going to create an item that is being ordered by a bundle and can be sold piece by piece using the Multiple Units of Measure feature of QuickBooks Point of Sale. Let’s get started:

1. Go to “File” menu → then “Preferences” → click on “Company”.

1. Make sure to add the unit of measure by going to “Unit of Measure” under “Inventory” section.

1. Proceed to the Item list on the home screen of QuickBooks Point of Sale to create the item.

1. Click on “Add” on the upper right side of the screen on the Item List.

1. After filling up the necessary information, proceed to the “Base Unit of Measure”. This is where you’re going to set the base unit of measure when selling the item. For this item, we’re going to select by the “Each”.

1. Click on “Unit” to set the options for this item since this is going to be a Multiple Units of Measure item.

1. Before we start setting the “Ordering and Selling” area. We first have to set the “Unit of Measure” in order to convert it to the “Base Unit”. That means we are going to order an item using the Unit of Measure and then sell it by the Base unit. So for this guide we’re going to set “Box” as the unit of measure and one box consist of 12 of the Base unit that we selected , in this case it’s the “Each”

1. Now that we have the “Unit of Measure”, we can now set the “Ordering and selling” options. We’re going to order the item by the “Box” and will be selling it by the “Each”

1. As soon as you select the Unit of Measure whenever you order this item. QuickBooks Point of Sale is going to automatically pop-up to ask for the order cost of that item when it is ordered by the box.

1. Once that has been done you can now click on “Save” to create the item. Now you can sell the item by the “Each” or by the “Box” and order it by the “Box”. This is how the Unit of Measure feature works in QuickBooks Point of Sale.
