Show multiple units of measure on Doc Designer templates

Print the purchasing unit and base unit quantities on Purchase Orders, Supplier Returns and Labels.

Written by Heather Worthington

When you buy with Multiple Units of Measure, a Purchase Order line has two quantities: the purchasing unit's order quantity and the quantity in the base unit of measure. You can show either or both on your documents. Classic and Formal templates can't be edited, so you'll need to create an editable copy first.

  1. From the main menu, click Settings, then click Doc Designer.

  2. Click the transaction type you want to edit: Purchase Order, Supplier Return or Labels.

  3. In the Document tab, use the Template Name drop-down menu to select the template you want to edit.

  4. Click the LinesGrid component in the template layout.

  5. In the Headers field, select each header you need, then select the Visible checkbox:

    • OrderQuantity: The purchasing unit's order quantity.

    • UnitOfMeasure: The purchasing unit of measure.

    • BaseUnitOrderQuantity: The quantity in the base unit of measure.

    • BaseUnitOfMeasure: The base unit of measure.

  6. Click Publish.
