Unit of measure workaround for quickbooks online

That's correct, Stone6. Currently, QuickBooks Online (QBO) in your region doesn't offer a built-in Unit of Measure (UoM) feature for items. However, we’re here to help with a few alternative solutions based on your specific needs.

One option is to use the Custom Fields feature to track and label unit of measure information. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Gear icon and select Custom Fields.
2. Click Add custom field.
3. Name the field (e.g., Unit Type or Measurement Unit).
4. Choose the Data type dropdown for the type of custom field.
5. Select the checkbox in the Select Forms section to include this custom field on your forms (e.g., sales invoices or purchase orders), allowing you to specify and track units on a per-transaction basis.

For more information, including details about the usage limits for custom fields based on your QuickBooks Online subscription, refer to this article: Know the usage limits and manage custom fields.

Alternatively, if your inventory needs are more advanced, such as requiring unit conversions or detailed tracking, you might want to explore integrating a third-party app that complements QuickBooks Online.
