          Create Units of Measure

          A unit of measure quantifies the consumption of a usage resource. You can define units of measure to support a wide range of usage resources. For example, a unit of measure can be time-based, volume-based, transaction-based, or count-based.

          7. Select a type of measurement.
            You can add new values to the type picklist. See Add or Edit Picklist Values.
          8. Select a status.
            Draft Indicates that this record is still open for modifications. This is the default value.
            Active Indicates that Usage Management is using this record for resource consumption calculations and you can make limited modifications.
            Inactive Indicates that the record is not in use.
          9. Save your changes.
