About User Define UOM Codes

Oracle Intelligent Track and Trace supports user defined UOM codes for lot-controlled or serial-controlled items in your supply chain network.

As a founder administrator, use the following properties to define a UOM code of your choice:

  • Code: A string that uniquely identifies the UOM code. For example, BAG.
  • Label: A string describing the UOM code, such as sack, bag and so on.
  • Description: A statement describing the UOM code.
  • Conversion Factor: A constant value by which the unit of measure is multiplied and converted to a base unit.

Scenario

Let us assume that the items shipped are packed in a carton and each carton contains 24 bottles. In this case, you can configure the user defined UOM code as:

Code Label Description Conversion Factor
CT carton A carton of 24 bottles. Empty bottles used as raw material 24
The following table is an example of the category to which the code belongs and its corresponding base unit of measure.
Unit of Measure Class Unit of Measure Base Unit of Measure Conversion Factor
Quantity Carton Each 24

(One carton = 24 each)
