change of UOM

[vanisri_mayya]

Hi,

Is there any way to change the UOM once the item has been created? Or is there any work around for this to use different UOM other than defined for the item? We are using 11i.

WE CAN DEFINE A CONVERSION, LIKE 1 ROLL = 100 MTR, OR 1 ROLL=50 MTR

Hi vani,

There are 2 UOM's
1.Base UOM
2.Primary UOM

System Always accounting on primary UOM.while receiving material into inv we can receive it in diff uom by using cascading option.IN OM you have to check primary UOM so that system will conver it to the Base UOM.These are the workaround for various possiblr scenario.If this answer not solve your issue.let me know the exact problem why you need to change your defined UOM?

Dear All,

In addition to Ms.Vanisri's query I have couple of questions.

1. Can we change the Primary UOM after the item is created and saved, as I have realised that the Primary UOM what I have given it wrong after saving but before performing any transactions on it.

2. Secondly can I change the Primary UOM for the Item after recording the transction on the item.

Dear All,

Do remember the once the items is created you can never change the Primary UOM, only thing is that going for a conversion.

Or else you can delete the item if no transactions exist and create the same item with right UOM.

If any transaction not been done then you can change UOM, just click on UOM then click help > examine enter correct UOM and save it


If transaction has been done, then return all quantity, disable this item and create new item.
