# Convert warehouse units of measure

If an item can be defined in more than one unit of measure, you can instruct the program to convert a quantity of that item into a unit of measure other than the unit in which it entered the warehouse. This is useful when you need to use a different unit of measure when assigning an item to a warehouse activity.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Bin Status**, and then choose the related link.
2. Select a bin content line for an item defined in several units of measure.
3. On the **Actions** tab, in the **General** group, choose **Units**. The **Convert Warehouse Units** page appears.
4. Select the line with the unit of measure you want to convert.
5. In the **Quantity** field, enter the quantity of the item's current unit of measure you want to convert.
6. In the **New Unit of Measure Code** field, select the unit to which you want to convert the item.

The anticipated quantity of the item in the new unit of measure is displayed in the **New Quantity** field.
7. On the **Actions** tab, in the **General** group, choose **Register**.
