When managing inventory in TallyPrime, you may come across situations where a product is measured using a combination of two units. That’s when you use a Compound Unit of Measure (UOM).
A Compound Unit is a combination of two Simple Units used to measure a stock item.
For example:
- 1 Box = 10 Pieces
- 1 Dozen = 12 Items
- 1 Meter = 100 Centimeters
