How to Configure Unit of Measurement UoM in Odoo 18 | Setup UoM | Odoo 18 New Features | Odoo 18
2In Odoo, Units of Measurement (UoM) allow you to manage quantities in different units and ensure that operations like purchases, sales, and stock movements are consistent and accurate across the supply chain. UoM in Odoo can handle various unit conversions, making it flexible for inventory and sales management.
Here’s an overview of how it works:
1. UoM Categories
Each UoM belongs to a category (e.g., Weight, Volume, Length), which groups units that can be converted among each other.
For example, the "Weight" category may include kilograms, grams, and pounds.
2. Types of UoM
Reference Unit: The main unit in a category, serving as a base for conversion.
Bigger than the Reference Unit: Units that are larger than the reference unit (e.g., kg to tons).
Smaller than the Reference Unit: Units smaller than the reference (e.g., kg to grams).
3. Setting Up UoM
Go to Inventory ➔ Configuration ➔ Units of Measure to add or modify units.
Define the UoM name, type, and category.
Set the conversion ratio relative to the reference unit in that category.
4. Using UoM in Products
In the Product form, select the UoM for sales and purchase.
If you purchase in one UoM (e.g., cartons) and sell in another (e.g., pieces), Odoo automatically converts based on defined ratios.
5. Multi-UoM Conversion
Odoo allows multiple UoMs in transactions, converting quantities as needed. It’s helpful when products are measured in different units for purchasing, selling, and internal handling.
6. Precision and Rounding
Rounding precision can be set to ensure that fractional conversions don’t lead to rounding errors.
Example Usage in Sales and Inventory:
A product can be purchased in kilograms but sold in grams. Setting the appropriate UoM conversion factor ensures that the inventory is accurately tracked without manual adjustments.
7. Reports and Analysis
Odoo supports UoM in reports, allowing you to track and analyze quantities in consistent units based on your preferences.
