Considerations for Requesting Items That Are Priced in Their Secondary UOM

Here are some of the considerations before using the Purchase Items That Are Priced in Their Secondary UOM feature:

  • Use this feature to price requisition line for items that use dual units of measure in the ordering UOM or the secondary UOM using blanket purchase agreements.

  • Enable an item for dual unit of measure tracking. The Manage Items task is used in the Product Information Management work area to set the Tracking Unit of Measure attribute to Primary and Secondary for the item.
  • Create your units of measure and then create the standard conversion to convert between the primary UOM and the secondary UOM.

  • Your choices are different depending on whether you have a blanket agreement for the requisition line.

    • Do have it, and the agreement line is priced in the item's secondary UOM. The agreement line price is converted to the primary UOM of the item, which is then saved as the requisition line unit price. In this case, you can't override the price of the blanket purchase agreement line, even if the price override is enabled.

    • Do have it, and the agreement line isn't priced in the item's secondary UOM. The agreement line price is saved as the requisition line unit price. If the price override is enabled in the agreement, you can override the agreement price in the requisition line.

    • Don't have it. Price is required and you must provide it during requisition import when you import items with UOM that's different from the primary UOM of the item. You can either provide the unit price for the ordering UOM or use the item's list price as the price with the primary UOM of the item.

  • When creating the requisition, you can provide either the ordering quantity or the secondary quantity. If you provide both, the secondary UOM quantity is calculated according to UOM conversion rules. The item's deviation factors don't apply to this feature.

  • You can't use this feature with the purchase requisition REST resource or the UI to create requisition for items that use dual units of measure.

  • You can't use this feature to create requisitions with the base model or configuration components that are specified with dual UOM.
