Classic scenario-UOM change for material

[Former Member]

Hi

We have list of materials(Gcode represented) with UOM -EA(each) which is being used by te users for their business.In case if buers wants in PO with some other UOM say 'KG' then how the shopping cart created with EA shall be converted to the buyers required UOM .Is there any way to make the conversion in SRM. Can somebody throw some light on this .

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

This a modification of the standard.

Difficult to give you a best way to do it as there can be 'collateral damage'.

For example, SC with GR follow-on doc sould not be converted...

Did you already evaluate all the 'rules' to apply to your bespoke ?

Kind regards,

Yann

Rajan,

First of all, I would re-validate the scenario. To have a UOM of EA for something that is purchased in KG does not make sense. EA should be used for items like pencils, wrenchs, sub-assemblies, finished goods, etc.

Second, if it has to be that way, have you tested using the UOM conversions within the material master? You could purchase in KG and inventory in EA. However, you would have to be provided with the proper conversion factor for the material. See if that works.

Just my 2-cents.

Regards, Dean.
