Specify Units of Measure

When you sync parts using the Product Hub web service integration, the supplied integration uses the primary Unit of Measure (UOM) defined for sales products in Sales. You need to add this value to the list of valid UOM values.

Sales products require that the Primary UOM be uniquely defined for each site as part of the standard setup within Product Information Management. Those configuring the site and implementing must know the code value used for this UOM.

Note: Each part (item/product) can have a different Primary UOM defined in Sales. Therefore, you need to maintain all the different Primary UOM codes in Oracle CPQ in the UOM attribute on the Transaction Line.

To specify UOMs in Oracle CPQ:

  1. Go to Administration Platform > Commerce and Documents > Process Definition.
  2. Click List. The Document List page appears with attributes selected for the Navigation values for Transaction and Transaction Line.
  3. Click List for the Transaction Line row.
  4. Scroll to the Unit of Measure attribute name and click it.
  5. Enter the text label to be displayed for this UOM in the Displayed Text text box.
  6. Enter the exact code value used in Sales in the Variable Name text box (you might need to edit the default value that's displayed for this).
  7. Click Update to save the added code value.
  8. Deploy the changes.
  9. Click Add Entry. The new code value appears in the list of values for the menu attribute.
    Note: If parts are manually created or sourced in Oracle CPQ, this code value must be used for all parts to be integrated.
