Defining Item Unit of Measure Conversions

Access the Item Unit Of Measure Conversions form.

After you enter the default unit of measure information, you must provide the system with unit of measure conversion information if the item has multiple units of measure (for example, an item that you stock in boxes and in crates).

You can update conversion information only for items that already exist in the system. For new items, you must select OK to save the item, and then select the item on the Work With Item Master Browse form, and return to the Item Master Revisions form.

Enter a code from UDC table (00/UM) that identifies the unit of measure for an item. For example, the unit of measure can be eaches, cases, or boxes.

Quantity

Enter the factor that the system uses to convert one unit of measure to another unit of measure.

To UoM (to unit of measure)

Enter a code from UDC table (00/UM) that indicates a secondary unit of measure.
