Unit of Measure (UOM) Setup in O2VEND Back Office — Complete Guide

The Unit of Measure (UOM) feature in O2VEND Back Office defines how products are quantified, packaged, and sold.
For example, items like beverages can be sold as a single can, six-pack, or two-litre bottle, while groceries may use grams, kilograms, or packets.

By correctly setting up UOMs, businesses can achieve:

  • Accurate inventory tracking
