Managing Fractions in UOM

Unit of Measurement is the abbreviation. Numbers (Nos), kilograms, liters, meters, boxes, and cartons are a few instances of UoM.

Few UOMs cannot be valued to several decimal places. If an object has television as its UoM, for instance, we are unable to have 1.5 televisions or 3.7 computer sets. For these items, the quantity value must be a full number.
