changing units of measure in GP

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Good morning,

We are a manufacturing company and the UOM in GP do not reflect the UOM we utilize in physical production. I am being asked to convert what we have in GP to what we physically use. Can someone please direct me or advise how i should go about this procedure? I am sure I will need to have all PO's and Invoices cleared, nothing unposted...

Any and all direction or suggestions very welcomed and appreciated.

Thank you in advance

    It helps if you let us know what is your current U of M schedule and what you want to convert to, but yes, you will need to close out all POs, invoices, production orders, etc., etc., etc. Sometimes this is not possible, so it is just easier to setup a new item number with the new Unit of Measure and since you can mark an item as inactive, you can then prevent the old one from being used.

    Where it becomes really tricky is if you have BOMs that are created for this item as you may need to set new ones up too.
