how to set up units of measure for items sold by half pound quarter pound and pound

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To set up units of measure for items sold by half pound, quarter pound, and pound in NetSuite, you can follow these steps: 1. Navigate to Lists > Accounting > Units of Measure. 2. Click on New to create a new Unit of Measure. 3. Set the Name to something like "Weight". 4. In the Base Unit field, enter "Pound". 5. In the Conversion Rate field, enter "1" (since 1 Pound is the base unit). 6. Click on Add to add more units. 7. For the half pound, set the Unit Name to "Half Pound" and the Conversion Rate to "0.5". 8. For the quarter pound, set the Unit Name to "Quarter Pound" and the Conversion Rate to "0.25". 9. Click on Save. Now, when you create or edit an item, you can select this "Weight" unit of measure and specify the quantity in pounds, half pounds, or quarter pounds. However, please note that the unit of measure is global and applies to all items using that unit. If you need different conversion rates for different items, you might need to create separate units of measure for each item or use client-side scripts to handle the conversion. Also, if you need to use different units of measure across different subsidiaries (e.g., pounds in one subsidiary and kilograms in another), you might need to create separate items for each subsidiary and use a naming convention to differentiate them. You can then use saved searches or scripts to handle the conversion between units. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
