    The EAN here always refers to the base unit of measure, as does any gross weight or volume that you enter.

    To enter packaging data (such as dimensions, volume, and gross weight) for the EAN for the base unit of measure, choose Extras ® Units of measure. The Units of Measure screen appears. You can access this function from all user department screens. Any values for gross weight and volume that you already entered on the Basic Data screen for the base unit of measure are displayed here.

    On the Units of Measure screen, you enter all valid units of measure for the material. For each unit of measure, you can specify an EAN or EAN category, and also packaging data. The EAN for each unit of measure on this screen is the main EAN.

  3. To return to the Basic Data screen, choose Back.
  4. Save your data.
