Overview

This article explains how to map NetSuite Units of Measure (UOM) with PromoStandards UOM values for Live Inventory responses.

Prerequisites

  • NetSuite Feature: The Multiple Units of Measure feature must be enabled in your NetSuite Account (Setup → Company → Enable Features → ERP General → Multiple Units of Measure)
If the Multiple Units of Measure feature is not enabled, the item UOM will be sent as EA (Each) in the PromoStandards Live Inventory response.

Understanding PromoStandards UOM Values

PromoStandards has enumerated values for Units of Measure which can be passed in the Live Inventory response.

PromoStandards UOM values (from PromoStandards.org as of 2026-02-09).
  • BX - Box
  • CA - Case
  • DZ - Dozen
  • EA - Each
  • KT - Kit
  • PR - Pair
  • PK - Package
  • RL - Roll
  • ST - Set
  • SL - Sleeve
  • TH - Thousand

Configuraton Steps

Step 1: Create PromoStandards UOM Records

Before configuring the eXtendPS-SE Inventory Setup page, you will create UOM records as per PromoStandards to create mappings between your NetSuite UOMs and the PromoStandards UOMs.

A script is provided to create these records automatically. Follow these steps:
  1. Navigate to Customization → Scripting → Scripts
  2. Search for the script titled “eXtendPS-SE Suitelet” and go to its script deployment record “eXtendPS-SE Create UOM Record”
  3. Open this deployment in view mode and open the deployment's URL to create the PromoStandards UOM records. Note: The process will be immediately initiated upon clicking the deployment URL




  4. You can view the created records by navigating to Customization → Lists, Records, & Fields → Record Types → eXtendPS-SE/DE Inventory UOMs

Step 2: Configure eXtendPS-SE Inventory Setup

After creating the UOM records, configure the mapping.
  1. Go to eXtendTech → eXtendPS-SE → Inventory Setup
  2. Specify the unit of measure used on your items in NetSuite in the NetSuite UOM section

  3. Select the most relevant PromoStandards UOM against it

Upon successful configuration, the mapped PromoStandards UOM will be shown for your NetSuite items in the PromoStandards Live Inventory response.

Example Configuration

a. Item Record: Item 29M-L-Ash with Stock Unit "Boxes"


b. Setup Configuration:


Note: although on the Item record the Stock Unit is shown as Boxes, the stock unit may return as Box - singular version.
