Use this form to create the inventory units for the inventory system. If items are stocked in different units, you must create different units in order to handle different procedures and transactions. For example, if an item is purchased in tons it may be sold in pounds.

All changes to inventory units take effect immediately throughout Microsoft Dynamics AX. You cannot delete a unit that has been used in one or several transactions.
