Picking with the Fulfillment Engine

The unit of measure (UOM) used to pick the stock from a storage location is determined by taking the entered UOM and converting it to a stocking UOM based on the item's setting on the UOM Conversion Flag field in the Define Business Unit Item - Inventory: Shipping/Handling page. The options are:

• Convert to Default Stock UOM: Converts the entered UOM on the transaction request to the default stocking UOM for the item.

• Convert to Standard UOM: Converts the entered UOM on the transaction request to the item's standard UOM.

• Use Entered UOM: Picks stock using the entered UOM on the transaction request.

There is one exception: the UOM Conversion Flag field is not used when dealing with fixed picking bins. When picking from fixed picking bins, the system always uses the default UOM established for the fixed picking bin.
