Is there any way to create Sales Unit of Measure automatically when I create new item or if I can disable Sales Unit of measure for Sales Order creation?

    The Sales Unit of Measure is created based on the Base Unit of Measure. If you'd like this to be another value (it would be nice if it was part of the item templates) you'll need to extend the item creation or templates.

    Hi

    You can try Item Template for this purpose.

    Templates can not be used for Sales unit of Measure. Any work around to process sales order without proving sales unit of measure

    Like I said in the other post, when the base unit of measure is input the sales unit of measure should be automatically defaulted. If the sales unit of measure is empty, the culprit is the method of creating the items or so it would seem.

    Sorry. You are right. I looked into our environment which we had minor development to add this to Item Template.

    Any idea about the development you did to make it available on Item Template

    We asked Developer to add that field into Item Template then make the field populate the field in Item Card. Looks like he added a new field to Item Template table (1382) and the page, the made sure that populate the UOM in item card.

    You can add the Sales Unit of Measure to the Item Template:

    Extend Table 1382 Item Templ. and Page 1384 Item Templ. Card to hold the field

    Subscribe to Codeunit 1336 Item Templ. Mgt. OnApplyTemplateOnBeforeItemModify and add your logic.

    Hi, This is a bit strange, when I create a new Item, the Sales Unit of Measure is automatically filled in.

    My test version: W1 20.0 (Platform 20.0.37114.39096 + Application 20.0.37253.38055)

    You can find in the standard source code.

    If you don't like it being created automatically, try the following two lines of code. (for reference only)

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    Thanks ZHU,

    Yes If I create a new Item from Business Central it automatically fills the Sales Unit of Measure (from base unit).

    But I am synching Items from Dataverse (Dynamics 365 Sales). I am using Item template, it populates the Base Unit of Measure but still Sales Unit of measure never gets populated. Any suggestions
