The operating problem
What needs to become clearer
A business may understand unit of measure: meaning for a small business in principle and still handle it inconsistently while keeping item quantities, units, prices and replenishment decisions consistent. The useful question is who owns unit of measure, when it is recorded and how an exception is approved.
Recommended approach
Start with the workflow, then test the software
Map unit of measure on paper before configuration. Ask the responsible operator to clean the item master, count opening stock and test every movement that changes quantity, while a second person checks the result against an approved item list, physical count, movement sample and reconciliation report.
