Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>How do conversions between units work?<\/strong><br \/>\nConversions are automatic between units of the same category, thanks to ratios. For example, if &#8220;Kilogram&#8221; (ratio 1) is the base unit and &#8220;Gram&#8221; has a ratio of 1000, switching from 5 kg to Gram will automatically display 5000 g. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I use different units for the sale and purchase of the same product?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes. Each product has a distinct sales unit and purchase unit. For example, you can buy in &#8220;Box of 12&#8221; and sell by the &#8220;Piece&#8221;.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I modify a unit of measure already in use?<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can modify the name, ratio, and attributes. Modifying the ratio will affect future conversions but not document lines already saved. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Which units are created by default?<\/strong><br \/>\nKafinea comes with the most common units. You can add as many as necessary and create your own categories according to your business. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Glossary<\/h2>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Term<\/th>\n<th>Definition<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Unit category<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Grouping of units measuring the same quantity (e.g.: Weight, Length)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Base unit<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>The reference unit of a category, with a ratio of 1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>The conversion factor between a unit and the base unit of its category<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Attribute<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>A custom field attached to a unit, enterable in document lines<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Calculated attribute<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>A value calculated automatically by a mathematical formula<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<h2>Related references \ud83d\udd17<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kafinea.com\/en\/documentation\/catalog\/products\/\">Products<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kafinea.com\/en\/documentation\/catalog\/services\/\">Services<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kafinea.com\/fr\/documentation\/catalogue\/les-familles-darticles\/\">Item families<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udccd Where to find this module?Main menu &gt; Catalog Introduction Kafinea&#8217;s units of measure go beyond a simple list of names: they allow for the management of unit categories, automatic conversions via ratios, custom attributes that can be entered in document lines, and calculated attributes using mathematical formulas.
