Unable to remove Unit of Measure

Hi,

We're trying to remove a Unit of Measure (PALLET) for a certain item because it will no longer be used and we want to prevent end-uders from selecting it by accident (there is another UoM called EPAL with the same quantity per unit).

However when we try to remove the UoM we get the following error message:

You cannot modify Item Unit of Measure PALLET for item 1210457 because there are one or more warehouse adjustment entries for the item.

More information:

running "Calculate Warehouse Adjustment..." on the item journal doesn't generate any lines.
the sum of all warehouse entries with Zone & Bin = ADJUSTMENT is zero.
There is no inventory with the UoM
There are no reservation entries for this UoM
There are no purchase and no sales line for this UoM

I'm at a loss why I'm not able to just delete the UoM...

Any asistance is appreciated.

Regards,

Max

Unable to remove Unit of Measure

Hello,

The error you're encountering typically occurs because the system detects that there are still some historical records related to the "PALLET" Unit of Measure (UoM), which prevents it from being removed. Even though you have already checked for many common sources, there are still a few things you could check or try to resolve the issue.

Warehouse Adjustments: Double-check past warehouse adjustments or related entries, even if they show zero quantity.

Inventory Entries: Verify if there are any old inventory transactions still referencing "PALLET".

Sales/Purchase Documents: Check for any historical sales or purchase orders or receipts that might still use "PALLET".

Reservations or Stockkeeping Entries: Ensure no lingering stockkeeping entries or reservations are linked to "PALLET".

System Logs: Look for any system logs or errors that could give more insight into hidden dependencies.

Hope this will work for you

Unable to remove Unit of Measure

This is standard behavior. Once used in warehouse adjmt, it cannot be deleted, which is the same as Users.

Thanks.
