The Units of Measure feature has changed from previous versions:

• The Units of Measure feature is now available only in QuickBooks Premier. It is not available in QuickBooks Pro. For information about upgrading to QuickBooks Premier, contact Customer Service.

• Intuit recommends that you track stock using the smallest unit you deal with to avoid rounding errors

  QuickBooks 2008 and later tracks stock in the smallest unit you buy, stock, sell or otherwise use. This smallest unit is called your base unit. If your stocking unit was not the smallest unit you deal with, your stock numbers will seem different. However, only the stocking unit (base unit) will have changed and your total stock value and quantity remain the same.

  Example: Before converting to QuickBooks 2008 or later, Janice stocked applesauce by the case and each case contained 25 cans. She sold this item by the can. Janice had 10 cases of this item on hand. After converting her company file, Janice's base unit became a can because that was her smallest unit of measure. She now has 250 cans in stock (instead of 10 cases).
