Key Term:	Taxonomy: A taxonomy is a scheme of classification used for an organization’s products.
Description:	Individual articles can have different units of measure such as a carton, can, box, cassette, cartridge, pounds, and kilograms. Therefore, handling the products in various units of measure is necessary for both retailers and wholesalers. Being able to track the units in a tabular form allows for a more efficient handling operation.

Application:	Enable the system to handle not only multiple units but also similar units with different meanings. Example: Let’s take for instance a can of the energy drink “Red Bull”, which is made available in its base unit (1 can), a box of 30, a carton of 35 and so on. It is important for the retailer to have the capability to handle these units that are of different quantities.
