Join nowQBD- Single U/M per Item - We have duplicate U/M abbreviations, we need to change the abbreviation only but keep the Base unit the same. Can I change multiple items at one time?
Thanks for reaching out to the Community, @RoseSiO2.
When changing the unit of measure and abbreviation will affect those other items. Also, when Single U/M Per Item is selected as the unit of measure mode, you can only assign one unit of measures for each item.
Here's how:
1. Go to the List menu, and then choose Item List.
2. Choose the item you want to edit.
3. In the Unit of Measure section, select Edit.
4. Change the unit of measure name and abbreviation.
5. Select OK.
To learn more about the unit of measure (U/M) in QBDT, I suggest checking out this article: Use single and multiple units of measure for items.

Hi, @RoseSiO2.
Hope you’re doing great. I wanted to see how everything is going about changing the unit of measure abbreviation you had the other day. Was it resolved? Do you need any additional help or clarification? If you do, just let me know. I’d be happy to help you at any time.
Looking forward to your reply. Have a pleasant day ahead!
