    This paper studies the monoid structure of natural-valued monotone functions on an arbitrary poset is studied. A characterization of prime elements and a description of its convex hull are obtained. The associated monoid ring is proved to be normal, the Cohen-Macaulay type is determined, the Gorenstein property is characterized. These results are then applied to the monoid of quasi-arithmetic multiplicities on a uniform matroid.
