Unit of Measure Mapping

Learn how to create and manage unit of measure mappings to ensure consistent measurement standards across your procurement operations.

Overview​

Unit of Measure (UOM) Mapping is a crucial feature that helps standardize measurement units across your procurement platform. This functionality enables you to:

• Standardize Measurements: Map your organization's units to standard Axiom units
• Ensure Consistency: Maintain uniform measurement standards across all procurement activities
• Simplify Integration: Facilitate smooth data exchange between different systems
• Reduce Errors: Prevent confusion and mistakes caused by unit mismatches
• Improve Efficiency: Automate unit conversions for seamless procurement operations

Navigation​

To access the UOM Mapping interface:

1. Click Settings in the main menu
2. Navigate to the Store heading and expand it
3. Select UOM Mappings from the expanded menu

The UOM Mapping landing page offers two methods for creating new mappings:

Manual Mapping​
