Alternate units

The Alternate units option is available if the specific item has alternate units set up in M3 BE. The basic unit of measure, and any alternate unit of measure, are available and the input boxes can be used to calculate amounts of units between the different units of measures. Use the radio buttons to change the value in the Unit of measure drop-down menu in section “Add to Order”. The quantity in the Quantity field is updated as well with the selected unit of measure.

The stock availability or the Allocatable Net is displayed in the cards of Alternate Units. You can use the stock availability information to decide whether the requested quantity for the alternate unit can be fulfilled.
