  2. Set Unit of Measure Definition Source

Set Unit of Measure Definition Source

The unit of measure (UOM) used in planning applications may be different from the UOM used to purchase goods. You can set the UOM definition source on a collaboration relationship to be used for all collaboration quantities. When you set the UOM on the collaboration relationship, all quantities including order forecasts, commits, open purchase orders, in-transit shipments, shipments in receiving, and purchase requisitions are converted and displayed in the specified collaboration UOM.

You must be a Supply Chain Application Administrator do this task.

  1. In the Supply Chain Collaboration work area, click Manage Supply Collaboration Network in the Tasks panel.

  2. On the Manage Supply Collaboration Network page, search for the collaboration relationship.

  3. Select a row in the search results and click Actions > Edit.

  4. On the Edit Relationship page, select one of these values for UOM Definition Source:

    • Published order forecast: To convert and display collaboration quantities in the UOM of the order forecast published to Supply Chain Collaboration. This is the default value and accepts the UOM published by Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning. If a UOM isn't provided, Supply Chain Collaboration will use the item's primary UOM set on the item record.

    • Approved supplier list: To convert and display collaboration quantities in the purchasing UOM defined on the approved supplier list matching the item and supplier.

    • Primary: To display collaboration quantities in the item's primary UOM. The item's primary UOM is defined on the item record.

    • Other: To convert and display collaboration quantities in the user-defined UOM set on the collaboration relationship.

  5. If UOM Definition Source is set to Other, select a value for UOM.

  6. Click Save and Close.

    Note: For an existing collaboration relationship, changes to the relationship attributes won't be effective until the next planning cycle.

For collaboration plans using items and organizations sourced from an external planning source system, UOM Definition Source depends on Supply Chain Planning to resolve the available UOMs, UOM conversions, item's primary UOM, and purchasing UOM.
