Adding units of measurement to parts in Next Plus can greatly enhance the accuracy and precision of the information conveyed. Units of measurement such as liters, centimeters, inches, and more, provide a standardized way to describe the size, shape, and quantity of a given part. This not only helps to define the part type in a more specific manner but also ensures that everyone in the system can understand and interpret the information in the same way.
