How to Use Multiple Units of Measure for a Single Product in SalesPlay POS

February 10, 2026 Updated on February 23, 2026

Multiple Units of Measurement (UoM) allow a single product to be sold, priced, and tracked in different units depending on customer preference or industry standards. SalesPlay POS handles the conversions and calculations between different UoMs seamlessly.

Example: A product like Beer can be sold as a Glass, Bottle, or Case. The POS system manages pricing and inventory for each unit type automatically.

Key Point: Using multiple UoMs ensures accurate sales, inventory, and reporting for products sold in different quantities or packaging sizes.

Step 1: Add Measurements

  • Login to POS Back Office Web Portal.
  • Select Products from the main menu.
  • Go to Measurements and click Add Measurements.
  • Enter the measurement name (maximum 3 letters) and value (if it is a larger UoM).
  • Click Add if adding multiple measurements.
  • Click Save when done.

Example:

  • Glass – GLS – 1 Glass
  • Bottle – BTL – 5 Glasses
  • Case – CAS – 12 Bottles (60 Glasses)

Step 2: Add a Product in Back Office

  • Login to POS Back Office Web Portal.
  • Select Products from the main menu.
  • Go to Product List and click Add Product.
  • Enter the Product Name.
  • Select the measurement type near the Sold by Each dropdown.
  • Enter the Regular Unit Price of one UoM.
  • Toggle Stock Control ON if needed.
  • Click Save.

Example: Add “Beer Glass” as the product name and select GLS as the measurement.

Step 3: Create a Composite Product

  • Login to POS Back Office Web Portal.
  • Select Products from the main menu.
  • Go to Product List and click Add Product.
  • Enter the Composite Product Name and price (regular unit price).
  • Enable Composite Product under Additional Options.
  • Select the previously created main product from the dropdown and enter the Quantity (QTY).
  • Click Save.

Example: Create “Beer Bottle” using 5 “Beer Glasses.”

Step 4: Create a Composite Product Using a Composite

  • Login to POS Back Office Web Portal.
  • Select Products from the main menu.
  • Go to Product List and click Add Product.
  • Enter the Composite Product Name and price.
  • Enable Composite Product under Additional Options.
  • Select the previously created composite product from the dropdown and enter the Quantity (QTY).
  • Click Save.

Example: Create “Beer Case” using 12 “Beer Bottles.”

Step 5: Add Stocks (Good Received Notes – GRN)

  • Login to POS Back Office Web Portal.
  • Select Inventory from the main menu.
  • Go to Good Received Notes (GRN) and click Create GRN.
  • Select the relevant product from the dropdown menu.
  • Select the correct Measurement from the dropdown.
  • Enter the GRN quantity and click the (+) button.
  • Click Create to complete stock addition.

Example: For incoming Beer stocks as Cases, select “Beer Glass” as the product, then choose CAS as the measurement and enter the stock quantity accordingly.

Tip: Using consistent measurement types ensures accurate inventory tracking, reporting, and sales calculations across multiple UoMs.
