At least one Ordering and Inventory Unit of Measurementmust Measurement must be added with an option to add a sub-unit of measurement.If a measurementhas measurement has been ordered or inventoried, the UOM description and conversion ratio field are not editable so that previous orders and inventories maintain data integrity.
