Create Requisitions with Dual UOM-Controlled Items

You can now add dual UOM-controlled items to a requisition while shopping in the Redwood Self Service Procurement application. In addition, you can also purchase items sourced to a blanket purchase agreement line, which is priced in the secondary UOM of a dual UOM-controlled item. For example, you might stock and sell meat in cases but price it in pounds. Each case of meat has a different price because the total weight in pounds varies from one case to the next, but you need to give your buyers an estimated price for each case.

Supporting purchase of dual UOM-controlled items have these benefits:

Flexibility in Ordering and Pricing: Businesses can order items in one UOM (e.g., case) even though they're priced in another UOM (e.g., pounds). This flexibility accommodates various purchasing scenarios and supplier preferences, enabling more accurate pricing and product costing.
Improved Inventory Management: You can simultaneously track an item in both the primary UOM and secondary UOM throughout your order-to-cash and procure-to-pay processes.

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.

Offering: Procurement

If you want to use the Create Requisitions with Dual UOM-Controlled Items feature, then you must opt in to one or both of these features:

Enable the Redwood Version as the Default Self Service Procurement Application: Makes the Purchase Requisitions (New) work area available to all your users, and hides the Purchase Requisitions work area from all your users.
Procure Goods and Services Using the Redwood Self Service Procurement Application: Keeps the Purchase Requisitions work area available to all your users, and makes the Purchase Requisitions (New) work area available to the users who are assigned this privilege: Manage Requisition with the Redwood Self Service Procurement Application (POR_MANAGE_REQ_WITH_PWA_PRIV).

Additionally, you must opt in to use the Purchase Items That Are Priced in Their Secondary UOM feature under Purchasing.

If you’ve already opted in, then you don’t have to opt in again.

Tips And Considerations

If you've opted into this feature, changing the quantity will automatically update the secondary quantity and vice versa. This represents a change in behavior from previous versions.
If you haven't opted into this feature, there will be no automatic updates to the secondary quantity when the primary quantity changes, and vice versa.
In catalog search results, the price of a blanket purchase agreement line for a dual UOM-controlled item, which is priced in the secondary unit of measure, will always be displayed in terms of the primary unit of measure.
