Defining Unit of Measure Conversions

Units of measure conversion enable you to perform transactions in units other than the primary unit of the item being transacted. You can define:

? a conversion common to any item within an unit of measure class (Standard)
? a conversion for a specific item within an unit of measure class (Intra-class)
? a conversion for a specific item between unit of measure classes (Inter-class)

Units of measure conversions are not organization-specific.

You must define a conversion between a non-base unit of measure and the base unit of measure before you can assign the non-base unit of measure to an item.

Specifying Which Conversion to Use

When you define an item you decide which type of unit of measure conversion to use:

? Item specific: Only uses units of measure conversions unique to this item. If none exist, you can only transact this item in its primary unit of measure.

? Standard: Uses standard units of measure conversions for this item if an item-specific conversion is not available.

Both: Uses both item-specific and standard unit of measure conversions. If both exist for the same unit of measure and item combination, the item-specific conversion is used.

Unit of Measure Conversions during Transactions

Whenever you enter an item's quantity, the default is the primary unit of measure for the item. The list of values for the unit of measure field displays all units of measure for which you have defined a standard and/or item-specific conversion.

Transactions are performed in the unit of measure you specify. The conversion happens automatically and item quantities are updated in the primary unit of measure of the item.

Examples of Unit of Measure Conversions

Standard

Class UOM Code Base UOM Standard Conversion

Quantity each EA Yes

Quantity dozen DZ No 1 DZ = 12 EA

Weight gram GR Yes

Weight pound LB No 1LB = 454 GR

Time second SE Yes

Time minute MI No 1 MI = 60 SE


Item-specific Intra-class

Item-specific Inter-class Conversions
