Units of measure (UOMs) are how Rundoo counts a product — EA, BOX, GAL, 5GAL, Board Foot — and every product has exactly one base UOM that governs how it's stocked, priced, and rung up.
In the Admin mode, open Product in the left sidebar, then scroll to the Units of measure section.
A UOM is a unit Rundoo can count a product in. At the company level, you define the set of UOMs your store uses — EA, BOX, GAL, 5GAL, Board Foot, Pallet, anything you count. On each product, you pick which UOM governs each kind of transaction (stocking, pricing, sale, order, transfer) over on the product's own Settings tab (see Products).
UOMs have three fields: a full Name (5 Gallon Bucket), an Abbreviation (5GAL) that shows up on receipts and labels where space is tight, and optional Notes for internal context.
The list here is the full catalog of UOMs available across your company. Every product on the system can only use UOMs from this list.
Click Add new unit of measure at the top-right of the section. A modal opens with three fields — Name, Abbreviation, Notes — and you fill in whichever ones apply.

If you have a spreadsheet of UOMs to bring over from another system, Import (top-right, next to Add new unit of measure) takes a CSV. Same pattern as Product imports.

Click any row in the UOM table — Rundoo opens the same modal as Add new unit of measure, pre-filled with that UOM's values, plus a red Delete button in the bottom-left.
Rename, change the abbreviation, update notes, then Save. The change propagates to every product using this UOM — new sales and orders use the updated name, but historical receipts and documents show whatever was in place at the time of the transaction.
