Description |
From unit of measure |
The Unit of measure code that will be used to convert from (e.g., EA = each). Validated against the Unit of Measure file. Alphanumeric, 3 positions. Create screen: required. Change screen: display-only. |
The number by which you multiply the From unit of measure to make total quantity equal to the To unit of measure multiplied by the To factor: (From factor) X (From unit of measure) = (To factor) X (To unit of measure).  In other words: 2 EACHES = 1 PAIR 12 EACHES = 1 DOZEN 1 PAIR = 2 EACHES 1 DOZEN = 12 EACHES Numeric, 7 positions with a 2-place decimal; required. |
|
To unit of measure |
The Unit of measure code that will be used to convert to (e.g., C24 = case of 24). Validated against the Unit of Measure file. Alphanumeric, 3 positions. Create screen: required. Change screen: display-only. |
To factor |
The number by which you multiply the To unit of measure to make total quantity equal to the From unit of measure multiplied by the From factor. See From factor. Numeric, 7 positions with a 2-place decimal; required. |
Round |
Specifies whether the system should round to the nearest value or truncate (cut off additional numbers from the end of the value). Y = The system will either round up or down to the nearest value. For example, if the conversion ends up with 1.6 units, the system will round up to 2 units. N = The system will truncate. For example, if the conversion ends up with 1.6 units, the system will truncate to 1 unit. Alphanumeric, 1 position; required. |
Conversion rate |
The conversion rate for the unit of measure. The system will calculate the conversion rate automatically, using the factors. The conversion rate is calculated by taking the To factor divided by the From factor. Otherwise, pressing F8 allows you to enter an actual conversion rate, instead of supplying the factor information. Example: If the From unit of measure was EA for each and the To unit of measure was C24 for case of 24, the From factor would be 24, the To factor would be 1, and the calculated conversion rate would be 1/24, or 0.0416667. Numeric, 12 positions with 7-place decimal; required, or system-calculated. |
Change Unit of Measure Conversion Screen
To change: Enter 2 next to a code at the Work with Unit of Measure Conversions Screen to advance to the Change Unit Measure Conversion screen. At the Change screen you can change any information except the from and to codes and the conversion rate. See Create Unit of Measure Conversion Screen for field descriptions.
Display Unit of Measure Conversion Screen
To display: Enter 5 next to a next to a unit of measure conversion at the Work with Unit of Measure Conversions Screen to advance to the Display Unit of Measure Conversion screen. You cannot change any information on this screen. See Create Unit of Measure Conversion Screen for field descriptions.
