As the name suggests, a Movable Unit (MU) is a single, identifiable unit load that can be easily tracked and moved. Once this feature has been enabled for customers, the types used in the relevant warehouse/s must be defined. Anyone within the database can have access to the defined MU types, as these appear throughout 3PL Warehouse Manager. This article reviews how MU types are defined.

To add a new MU type to the system,

1. Navigate to Admin > Movable Units.
   
2. Click Add, then enter the details for the unit. Please note that while 'Code' is the only required field, we do recommend you review each field and complete those that are necessary.
   

• Code: Name of the MU type—how it appears in the system
• Description: Brief description of the MU
• Material Type: Material the MU is made of
• Load Type: Method in which product is loaded in or on the MU
• Cost: Price your facility pays for the MU
• Rate: Price your facility charges for the MU
• Dimensions: Dimensions of the MU in your preferred measurement standard
  

  Please note that zeros (0) are not supported.

   
  3. Once entered, click Save. Your new MU type will appear in the Movable Units grid and be available for selection throughout the system.

4. Repeat for each MU type your facility uses.
