Unit of Measure

When you are adding new lines on the Purchase Order Requisition Lines form, enter the appropriate unit of measure for the item. This value displays in the browser on the Lines tab and on the Purchase Order Requisitions form.

The default unit of measure value for purchase order transactions is based on what is set up in the Unit of Measure Conversions form or the Items form. For more information about how U/M default values are set, see About Unit of Measure.

A different unit of measure can be entered if the following conditions are met:

• The entered unit of measure is defined on the Unit of Measure Codes form.
• There is a valid Unit of Measure Conversion defined between the base unit of measure and unit of measure used for the PO requisition line/release.

If the unit of measure is set on the PO requisition line/release, then the Plan Cost is displayed in this PO requisition line/release's unit of measure.

Non-inventoried items must still have a valid unit of measure.
