Calculate Runtime Transaction UOM Conversions with Generated Item Data

Calculate transactional requests involving units of measure (UOM) using generated data from a table of conversions. The table contains a set of conversions for all primary UOMs (for example, package or box) and models the conversions to the primary UOM of an item instead of the base UOM (for example, each) in the parent class. When you enable this feature, the list of values for eligible UOMs associated with an item is retrieved from the table instead of calculated from setup data.

Use this new opt-in feature to improve performance. All valid calculations to and from the primary UOM for each item are stored for faster transactional use. Enabling this feature will also provide additional functionality built using the table of generated conversion data. If you opt in, the assignment of packaging strings to an item will automatically set up intraclass conversions for that item and filter the UOM choices to only use those units participating in the packaging string.

Steps to Enable

Use the Opt In UI to enable this feature. For instructions, refer to the Optional Uptake of New Features section of this document.
