Let L be an orthomodular poset. A positive measure ξ on L is said to be weakly purely finitely additive if the zero measure is the only completely additive measure majorized by ξ. It was shown in [15] that, in an arbitrary orthomodular poset L, every positive measures μ is the sum v + ξ of a positive completely additive measure v and a weakly purely finitely additive measure ξ. We give sufficient conditions for this Yosida-Hewitt-type decomposition to be unique.

A positive measure λ on L is said to be filtering if every non-zero element p in L majorizes a non-zero element q on which λ vanishes. A filtering measure is weakly purely finitely additive. Filtering measures play a mediator role throughout these investigations since some of the aforementioned conditions are given in terms of these.

The results obtained here are then viewed in the context of Boolean lattices and applied to lattices of idempotents of non-associative JBW-algebras.
