## Structure

`CatalogMeasurementUnit`

## Fields

| Name | Type | Tags | Description | Getter | Setter |
|  --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `measurementUnit` | [`?MeasurementUnit`](/doc/models/measurement-unit.md) | Optional | Represents a unit of measurement to use with a quantity, such as ounces<br>or inches. Exactly one of the following fields are required: `custom_unit`,<br>`area_unit`, `length_unit`, `volume_unit`, and `weight_unit`. | getMeasurementUnit(): ?MeasurementUnit | setMeasurementUnit(?MeasurementUnit measurementUnit): void |
| `precision` | `?int` | Optional | An integer between 0 and 5 that represents the maximum number of<br>positions allowed after the decimal in quantities measured with this unit.<br>For example:<br><br>- if the precision is 0, the quantity can be 1, 2, 3, etc.<br>- if the precision is 1, the quantity can be 0.1, 0.2, etc.<br>- if the precision is 2, the quantity can be 0.01, 0.12, etc.<br><br>Default: 3 | getPrecision(): ?int | setPrecision(?int precision): void |
