Overview

Unimarket supports both the UNUOM (United Nations Unit of Measure) standard or the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard for item Unit of Measure (UOM) for catalog items. If you need the UOM standard to be confirmed or changed, please ask the Unimarket support team to assist you in changing the UOM standard configured for your supplier profile. The chosen UOM standard would apply to all catalogs provided through Unimarket, for all customers having access to a catalog. UOM standards cannot be 'mixed' between both available standards. Please note that any UOM mapping/transformations that are needed (because a supplier's item does not adhere to the set UOM standard) would need to be put in place on the supplier's side.

Please also note that if a punchout item is returned in the POOM (punchout order message) shopping cart that does not adhere to your current UOM setting (UNUOM or ANSI), Unimarket will automatically change the UOM to 'EA'. After that, the revised UOM on the item will also be sent on the order.

All Unimarket supplier catalog products and quoted items require a UOM. The default value is EA (Each) unless specified.

A full list of supported UOMs for both the UNUOM and ANSI standard is attached to this article. Some common UNUOM UOMs can be found listed below.
