Units define how you measure inventory in Inventory HQ, from boxes and bundles to linear feet and square feet. Setting up the right units before you add inventory ensures your records, pulls, and reports stay consistent.

Default units

Inventory HQ comes with the following units pre-loaded and active by default:

Managing units

Only Company Admins can manage units.
  • Use the toggle to activate or deactivate a unit. Deactivated units stop appearing in inventory dropdowns but existing records keep their unit.
  • Use Edit to rename a unit, or Delete to remove it permanently.
  • Add any custom units your business uses before you import inventory, since the bulk template is built from this list.
Do not delete a unit that is already associated with existing inventory records. Deactivate it instead. Deleting an in-use unit can cause data inconsistencies.
  • Categories - Group inventory and equipment with categories that also feed into your bulk import template
  • Bulk Import - Download the import template after units and categories are configured
  • Adding Items - Add inventory using the units you have set up
