Describes the unit of measure for reporting products or services sold, produced, exported, or installed by the organization.
Select one:
Note: Several metrics are reported in conjunction with this metric, such as Units/Volume Sold: Total (PI1263).
Organizations should footnote the unit of measure for each product/service for which data are reported, as well as the actual unit of measure used for reporting if they select "Other."
This metric is intended to capture in which unit of measure another metric reports. For example, if reporting units sold for two crops, one with sales volume measured in pounds and another with sales volume measured in tons, the organization should separately provide the unit of measure and units sold for each crop.
This metric is intended to be reported in conjunction with other relevant IRIS metrics. Organizations can filter on the "Reporting Format" column to see those metrics that require indicating Unit of Measure (PD1602).
Metrics identified as "cross-category" are those that are relevant to any IRIS+ Impact Category or Impact Theme (i.e., these metrics are not specific to any particular industry/category or theme).
