RE: Changing Unit of Measure Schedule
That's right Soma, but not the full picture.
When changing unit of measurement schedule for an item, it is correct that it doesn't affect other items (that are not associated with it), and it will absolutely delete your price list and purchasing options as an alert message pops up stating so.
Although, when changing UOM schedule, the last thing I would think of is the above since it is relatively not quite important. Most importantly, what about transactions history !
Inventory history transactions recorded in IV30300 holds the historical unit at which it was recorded. When printing a "Historical Stock Status" which retrieves data from IV30300, the unit stored in IV30300 will be compared to the master tables IV40201 and IV40202. Improper modifications of unit of measurement schedule or changing the unit of measurement schedule incorrectly will result with the common (divided by zero) error when printing Historical Stock status.
the bottom line is ... can I change or modify the UOM schedule ? The answer is simply, Yes, but with limitations.
Further explanation can be illustrated in the example below;
Current UOM Schedule: X
-
- Base UOM: box
- Case024 = 24 box
New UOM Schedule : New X
-
- Base UOM: box
- Case06 = 6 Box
- Case024 = 24 box
The modification in the example above is correct and will result with no errors since changes have been well applied considering the historical transactions.
Another Example;
Current UOM Schedule: X
-
- Base UOM: Each
- Case = 24 Each
New UOM Schedule : New X
-
- Base UOM: Can
- Pack = 6 Can
- Case = 24 Can
In this example, the relationships between unit of measurement level is corrupted, and therefore further negative ramifications may result when considering the history.
