Units of Measures

Usually, most CIP Translators relies on standard EDI Units of measure codes that must be used from/to the app.

These units of measure codes then needs to be converted in the Standard App to the units of measures defined in Business Central. This is done via a GEDI conversion documents that is usually called 'UNIT-STD'.

As a general rule, a unit of measure used by EDI must be in singular. For example, if you would make a unit of measure like "10-PIECE" for 10 Pieces, then most likely it won't be able to transfer this correctly in the EDI. Sometimes you can get around this convertering it for example to "BUNDLE" or similar, but then you need to define your bundle in another way in the EDI, and many EDI receivers won't support this.
