Unit of Measure Conversion
Use this widget to perform a conversion between Units Of Measure (UOM) and the available alternatives defined for a specific item in 'Item. Connect Alternate U/M' (MMS015).
As a homepage or workspace widget, retrieval of data depends on your selection from the Item List widget or as a context widget, retrieval of data depends on the published InforItemMaster IBC message which affects your selected item in M3. Depending on your item, you can convert its default UOM, for example Kilograms (Kg), to the alternate definedUOMs, for example Pounds (Lb), where UOM conversion is based on the conversion factor between Kg to Lbdefined in (MMS015) and the quantity that you have specified in the widget.
You can change the title of the widget as necessary.
