✑ In the Description field, type a value such as Pallet. Enter a descriptive name for the unit of measure in the system language.

✑ In the Unit class field, select Quantity

✑ In the Decimal precision field, enter a number. Specify the number of decimals that the converted unit of measure must be rounded to when a calculation is completed for the unit of measure.

✑ Click Save.

✑ Repeat the above steps for Box.

Define unit conversion rules

✑ On the Action Pane, click Unit conversions. Define rules for converting the unit of measure to and from other units of measure in the selected unit class.

✑ Click New to open the drop dialog.
