Units of Measurement

In Elorus, you can create your own units of measurement, as well as edit existing ones, by selecting Settings > Units of measurement.

Adding a unit of measurement

By selecting Add at the top of the page, you can add a new unit of measurement. To register the unit of measurement, you will need to fill in the mandatory fields Title, Symbol, and Category, and then click Save.

Title

The Title is used as descriptive text in various points in the application, e.g., Kilometer, Hour or Page.

Symbol

The Symbol field determines how the unit of measurement will appear on the printouts of your invoices. For example, km for kilometer or pg for page.

Category

In the Category field, you select one of the available categories from the list to which the added unit of measurement belongs. For instance, kilograms are classified under the Weight category and hours under the Time category. If the unit of measurement you added belongs to another category, you select Other.

Managing units of measurement

In case some of the units of measurement do not serve your business needs, you can either archive or delete them. After selecting the specific units of measurement from the list, click on the Actions field and proceed with the desired action, as shown in the image below.
