I realize that the answer to the question "Is there an easy way to change the UofM of an item?" is "No!", so I've resigned to the idea that it's not going to be easy.
We have a single UofM Schedule that doesn't meet our differing UofM needs (decimal places and UofM pricing) The decimal places causes a few inefficiencies, however, my real problem is that this one UofM schedule doesn't have case quantities, but I need to be able to price my products including cases and pallets. (currently only "Each" is configured)
I have created a new UofM Schedule called "FG-Stock" (Finished Goods Stock) that has the decimal place and case/pallet relationships that are required for FG Items, and now I'd like to change them to use it.
I can't change the UofM Schedule of an item if the decimal places between the UofM & Item don't match. So I run the "Change Decimal Places" utility, and it works (provided there are no outstanding transactions). Then I can't change the UofM Schedule if there are (Extended Pricing) Price Sheets - so I remove the Price Sheet Entries, and try again. Now it tells me that "The Unit Of Measure Schedule for the item class and the price group must match", but the UofM Schedule on all my ClassID records is blank, and changing it means removing all the (hundreds of) items from it first.
Changing a UofM Schedule of an item isn't easy. I get that. But is it, in fact, impossible? Am I going about this the wrong way? Can anyone help?
Currently using GP10.0, if that matters.
