Update Unit of Measure for an Item

You can update the primary and secondary UOMs of the item after the item is created and approved using the Item Import scheduled process. Two new columns—New Primary UOM and New Secondary UOM are introduced in the import map and FBDI import template for this purpose. You can’t update the UOM of the item in the following conditions:

• Structure exists for the item.

• Substitute components exist for the item.

• Costing exists for the item.

• Item is tracked as an asset in the asset management.

• Item has a reference to:
  • Sales order
  • Service contract
  • Project contract
  • Purchase order
  • Inventory transaction
  • Work order as the product or operations
  • Shipping transaction
  • Intraclass UOM conversions
  • The new UOM must belong to the same UOM class as that of the substitute item relationship defined for the item.
  • The new UOM can’t be in violation of the existing primary GTIN relationship defined for another item.

This feature benefits your business by providing improved flexibility to update item UOMs after the item is created and approved, and when there are no transactions in downstream systems.

Tips And Considerations

• You can update the item UOM only via an import process (file-based data import or import map).
• You can't combine other item updates with the UOM update.

Key Resources

• Watch Item Management, Data Consolidation and Analytics Readiness Training.

• Refer to the Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM: Using Product Master Data Management guide, available on the Oracle Help Center to understand the various checks that are performed when the UOM is updated.
