RELATED IDEAS

Have multi-unit selection (units of measure per commodity) options out of the box for manual data entry.

Why: We have locations across the globe. They all have utility companies that use different units of measure on their invoices. There is far less risk in human error by selecting a unit within manual data entry than asking the individual to do conversions outside of envizi and entering it into a pre-determined unit. This can also be a sore spot culturally with folks when it comes to what is shown as a standard data entry unit.  This seems like it should be an offering straight out of the box, but today we hear that it is a very heavy lift to build in this functionality that is needed to ensure easiest data entry with the least amount of human error possible.

    Our set up team made it sound like it was not something that was normally done and was a lot of work extra work to complete. This could be in part that we were not informed that there was a separate section in the CDW which needed to be filled out if we wanted other units. I would recommend that "what units of measure would need to be available for manual data entry" be a line item in the standard PM timeline as it caused our teams delay because accounts had to be reloaded. If it were early in the timeline, teams could ensure that each client is getting the same experience.

    Unit of Measure picklists can be configured for any client account style. This is part of the work in creating client specific account styles that is part of the included initial client setup.
