Set Up Default Stocking UOM for Inventory Management

To set up a default stocking UOM for inventory, complete these steps:

1. Enable the Units of Measure Usages feature.

   Once enabled, you can access the Manage Units of Measure Usages task in the Inventory Management functional area.

2. Access the Manage Units of Measure Usages task.

   In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the Manage Units of Measure Usages task.

   • Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management

   • Functional Area: Inventory Management

   • Task: Manage Units of Measure Usages

You can define units of measure usages in the context of an inventory organization and item. You must enter both an inventory organization and item when defining unit of measure usages.

Once you define a unit of measure usage, it's available on the inventory Management transaction pages. For example, if you define a stocking UOM of Box of 5 for the item UOM-1000 on the Manage Units of Measure page, that stocking UOM (Box of 5) automatically defaults when you create an inventory transaction such as a miscellaneous receipt. Once you enter the subinventory on the transaction line, the stocking UOM automatically defaults.
