✅ Create Units for Stock Items

📦 Units for Stock Items 

Depending on your business, you may buy or sell stock items in different units.
For example, you can use simple units like Meters, Kilograms, or Numbers.
If you sell items in standard packs (like 100 Kg per box), TallyPrime allows you to create units as per your business requirements.
