Change Unit of Measure

Bulk switch units of measure across products. Convert the values automatically (kg to lb) or just relabel them, with the conversion factor worked out for you.

Switch the unit of measure (UOM) across many products at once. WisePIM works out the conversion factor for you, so you never look up rates by hand.

You can do this two ways:

• Convert values: recalculate the numbers, for example 100 kg becomes 220.46 lb.
• Label only: change the unit label and leave the numbers as they are.

Change the unit of measure

1. Select products

   Check the products you want to update. Or use filters and select all matching results.

2. Open Bulk Edit and choose Change Unit of Measure

   Click Bulk Editing. Search for “Unit of Measure” or find it under Attributes & Custom Fields.

3. Select the UOM code set

   Choose the code set that holds the units you want to convert between. Each one shows its category and unit count.

4. Choose source and target units

   Set the From unit (current) and the To unit (target).

5. Choose a conversion mode and apply

   Decide whether to convert the values or only change the label, then click Apply.

Options

Option	What it does	Default
UOM code set	The unit system to use (for example Weight, Length)	None
From unit	The current unit to convert from	None
To unit	The target unit to convert to	None
Convert values	Applies the conversion factor to the actual numbers	On
Label only	Changes the unit label without converting values (when Convert values is off)	None
Skip empty values	Leaves products with no value untouched	On
Round converted values	Rounds the result after conversion	Off

Conversion preview

The preview shows an example conversion with the factor:

100 kg → 220.46 lb (×2.2046)

When to use each mode

• Use Convert values (the default) when you actually switch unit systems. It recalculates the numbers with the conversion factor.
• Use Label only (turn off Convert values) when the numbers are already right but the unit label is wrong. This is common after an import that set the wrong unit.
