Create and Define UoM Classes

To create a UoM Class, ensure that you have the Creator privilege and have the Standard locked for editing:

1. Right-click and select Add Measure Class. You can expand a UoM Class and create a Class within it to create a group.

2. Enter the required information:

3. Enter a unique identification for the UoM Class. This supports alphanumeric characters. This field does not auto-increment.

   Note: Whilst the application accepts white spaces and special characters, it is not recommended to use them.

   1. Enter a name for the identification in this optional field. If left blank, ID is displayed instead of Name in the user interface. This field accepts alphanumeric characters.

   2. Describe what this UoM Class is and what it does.

4. To create the record and continue to create more records, click Add. Alternatively, click Add and Close. This brings you to the Details tab of that UoM Class.

5. In the Corresponding Identifiers section on the Details tab, enter a nomenclature map. You can enter more than one nomenclature map. For information, see Implementing Corresponding Identifiers.

6. Enter a Group. This will create groups of similar UoM Classes. The system creates groups based on the values provided here. The groups are displayed within the Measure Classes tree structure.

7. Enter a value in the Sort Order field. This value represents the order in which the UoM Classes will be listed in the group folder in the tree view.

8. Enter an Aspect if it is implemented on the Unit of Measure Class. For information on Aspect, see Understanding Aspects.

   The UoM Class is now defined.

   Note: To discontinue using a UoM Class, select the Obsolete check box in the General Properties section on the Details tab.
