Quick answer: In the Buyer Hub, click Inventory, select an outlet and edit the item's inventory UOM, for example to count per piece when you order per carton. The new UOM applies to every inventory list the item is in for that outlet. Then follow the steps below.
Applicable to: Buyer Hub
Inventory UOM is a feature that allows you to be more versatile in counting your stocks by allowing you to change the item's UOM to another UOM that you use in your stock counts. For example, you may order an item per carton, but prefer to count per piece.
Editing your item’s inventory UOM
You can use the Buyer Hub to edit the UOM for your items in your inventory.
Note: Editing the item’s UOM will apply the UOM of the item for ALL the inventory list that the item is grouped into under your outlet.
1. Click on Inventory in the side navigation bar.
2. Select an outlet, then click on the "SKU" tab below your outlet name to display all the items available in your outlet.
3. Search for the item you would like to have the stock count UOM edited either by browsing through the list or by searching for the items in the “Search SKU” tab.
4. Click the “Action” dropdown located at the rightmost column on the item to edit the Inventory UOM. Then, click on “Edit settings”.
5. Click the “Settings” tab and it will show both the “Inventory UOM” & “Par Level” settings.
6. You can then edit the existing UOM with your preferred inventory UOM for stock counting. Click on "Save Changes" to complete the configuration.
Example Scenario:
Chef Jeff orders 20 cartons of bottled water every Friday except on public holidays from the water factory. A carton of bottled water consists of 20 bottled waters.
Chef Jeff counts his stocks for bottled water in cartons every Tuesday to keep track of his inventory. At times, his cartons may have less than 20 bottles of water which does not help in keeping an accurate measurement of his bottled water.
In Nomni Procure Buyer Hub, he can amend the UOM of his items for a more flexible way of keeping track of his stocks at the UOM that he desires.
The UOM setting for his bottled water in the inventory page of Nomni Procure Buyer Hub will look like the following:

Add items to an inventory list
Follow these steps:
Click Inventory in the side navigation bar.
Select an outlet, then click Add SKU.
Select the inventory list you want to add the item into.
We'll show all items that are not in the selected list. This may include some items that are in Inventory already but are not in this list. You can filter the list by supplier or to only display items that are not in the Inventory at all (ie. not been added to another list).
Select the checkbox next to the items you would want to add to the list, then select the Unit of Measurement (UOM) to be used in Inventory. You may also be asked to provide a conversion rate for the selected UOM if it's not the UOM you are using in your orders.
As you select the items, you may notice that some items have a "In X list" label below the SKU name. These are items that are already in Inventory but added to another inventory list. The "Inventory UOM", its conversion rate and the "Par" value of these items are not editable on this screen.
Once you are done, click the Done button to add the items to the list.
