Unit Management

Define custom units of measurement that appear on every document — from kilograms to hours.

Overview

Units of measurement are the foundation of every product record and sales document in Storvexa. The Unit Management module gives you complete control over the units used across your business.

Create as many custom units as your catalog requires, assign them to individual products, and watch them flow automatically into every document line item — no manual typing, no inconsistency.

Units are shared across your entire product catalog. A unit created once is available for selection on every product.

How It Works

Adding and assigning units is a quick, one-time process.

  1. Open Unit Management

    Navigate to the Units section from the Settings area. You will see a list of all currently defined units.

  2. Create a New Unit

    Click "Add Unit" and enter the unit name (e.g. kg, hrs, pcs). The name appears on product records and printed documents.

  3. Assign the Unit to Products

    When creating or editing a product, select the appropriate unit from the dropdown. The unit is then used on every document line item.

  4. Unit Appears on Documents

    When the product is added to any document, the assigned unit is displayed in the Unit column automatically.

Import a ready-made set of standard units using Settings → Import Defaults. This seeds common units like pcs, kg, L, hrs, and m immediately.

Key Features

Automatic Document Integration

Units assigned to products appear automatically in the Unit column on all document types.

Shared Across Product Catalog

One unit definition is reused by as many products as needed. Update the name once and it propagates everywhere. Learn more →
