U/M

On the Inventory Consigned From Vendor Usage form, select the appropriate unit of measure, or accept the default, for the selected item you are transferring out of consignment.

On the Purchase Order Builder form Items tab, enter a unit of measure or select one from the drop-down list of all U/Ms from the To Site. The system then verifies that:

• This U/M exists in the current (Purchase Order Builder) site.
• This U/M exists in the To (target) site.
• A U/M conversion exists in the Purchase Order Builder site from the item's base unit of measure (in the Purchase Order Builder site) to the U/M entered.
• A U/M conversion exists in the To site from the item's base unit of measure (in the To site) to the U/M entered.
• The U/M conversion factor must be the same in the To site as in the Purchase Order Builder site.

If the Overridden flag is not checked, the system recalculates the cost fields to display in the entered unit of measure.

Changing the U/M could impact the quantity break structure. Therefore, if the Master Buy Agreement is used for this item, all item costs in both grids are updated for lines that have the same item and U/M.

On the Purchase Order Builder form Planning tab, the U/M of the item displays.
