EDI Unit of Measure

Specify the Unit of Measurement Code as defined in the element table (Element 355) in the ANSI X12 Standard manual. You can also use this field to specify a two-character unit of measure used by the Infor Service Management integration.

See the Infor Distribution SX.e Integration Guide for Infor Service Management.

Note: This field is required if you use Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).

Unit Conversion Type

Specify a unit conversion type to define how the unit conversion is applied to the selling unit during Sales Order Entry or Purchase Order Entry. Possible options:

Multiple: If this option is selected, specify a decimal value for the Stocking Units in This Unit field. The amount you specify in the Stocking Units in This Unit field is multiplied by the stocking unit to determine the selling unit. For example, if you stock an item by board feet, but sell it in one unit made up of 10.5 board feet, the unit conversion factor is 10.5.
Fraction: If this option is selected, the stocking unit is multiplied by the fractional unit of measure to determine the selling unit. For example, if your stocking unit is a case of 12 items which you sell individually, the Units in a Stocking Unit would be 12.

Note: You can only specify a decimal value if this field is set to Multiple.
