Transform Your ERP with Advanced Units of Measure in Epicor Kinetic
22 August 2025
In industries where materials and products move across multiple stages of transformation- purchased in pallets, stored in liters, and sold in kilograms- precision measurement is mission-critical. Epicor Kinetics Advanced Units of Measure (UOM) functionality offers the flexibility and control of businesses needed to handle complex inventory scenarios seamlessly.
As an authorized Epicor partner, SCASYS helps organizations design and implement advanced UOM strategies that support scalable, error-free operations.
What Is Advanced UOM in Epicor Kinetic?
Advanced UOM allows businesses to define multiple, interrelated units of measure for a single inventory item. Whether you’re sourcing, manufacturing, or distributing, you can:
Buy in bulk (e.g., drums or boxes)
Track in storage (e.g., liters or pieces)
Sell in precise units (e.g., grams or meters)
With configurable UOM classes, conversion logic, and catch weight tracking, Epicor Kinetic enables end-to-end unit accuracy- without manual calculations or data duplication.
