We have the following scenario. A supplier sells an item in each but sends them in packages (12 each), so we need to order 12 each to receive 1 package. We sell by package (12 each).
This creates a problem because my PO has to be in units of each because that is how the vendor sell, but the base unit of measure and sales order has to be in packages to show my correct inventory.
So we have the following on Related/Item/Units of Measure:
Units of Measurement
Each 12
Pack 1
Base Unit of Measure Pack Quantity Rounding Precision 1
*** As a common rule, the Base Unit of Measure should always be the smallest unit, otherwise, you start getting into fractional inventory.
*** Business Central can divide from package to each, but not multiply, that is, from each to packages.
What alternatives do you think are suitable for this scenario? We were considering /Assembly/ to fix this, i.e. receiving in units and creating a new bundled item.
Thank you so much in advance for your assistance.
