# 📏Using Unit of Measure in Your Items

The **Unit of Measure** for items is typically provided by your **host company**, and you’ll see this information in the **Price Info** tab of the item.

This tab displays:

- The unit of measure (e.g. per litre, per kilogram)
- The item size, represented in the unit of measure

For example, in this **1.25L Coca-Cola** item:

- The unit of measure is **per litre**
- The size is displayed as **1250** (units are shown in millilitres, so 1250 = 1.25 litres)
- With a selling price of **$4.55**, this gives a price per litre of **$3.20**

![Coca Cola UOM 125l](https://help.futurenet.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/KB%20Media/Coca%20Cola%20UOM%20125l.png?width=314&height=120&name=Coca%20Cola%20UOM%20125l.png)

In most cases, you won’t need to adjust this — it will be hosted automatically. However, if you are creating **in-store items**, you can set the Unit of Measure yourself in this section.

If you don’t need to display a Unit of Measure for an item, you can set it as **exempt** by ticking the **Exempt from UOM** option instead.

**Important**
