Different Stocking/Sales Units per Site

Hi All,

I have a scenario with a customer where they purchase stock into one warehouse in a "Pack" unit, and within that warehouse they both store and sell the item in that pack unit. However, they transfer the item to another warehouse where they wish to store and sell the item in "Eaches". Currently they handle this by having two different released products, one for each unit, then write off and write on stock in the relevant places to convert the units. I'm hoping for a more elegant, less clunky solution.

I've set up unit conversions and was hoping that I could manage this using Default/Site Specific Order settings to specify different stocking/sales units in the 2nd site/warehouse. However the field for "unit" in the Default Order Settings screen is disabled.

Any other ideas from the Hive Mind on how to handle this scenario?

Thanks,

Ben

In Dynamics you can't have multiple stock units. You can have only one.

You can have multiple Purchase/sale units but not stock unit (This you can change at the time of transaction , on product you can map one as default)

You in you case you can still store as Pack in other warehouse but while selling you can sell in Each (Change on transaction) , just have conversion from pack to each

Hi BNeal,

The "Units" field in the default order settings is disabled probably because of the existence of a transaction, if the transaction cannot be deleted, a new item number with a new inventory unit will need to be used.

If you want to use released products in warehouse work processes, a unit sequence group must be assigned to them. If the unit sequence group that you use contains multiple lines (and therefore multiple units), you must set up a unit conversion between the units. You complete this setup on the Unit conversions page.

The smallest unit in a sequence group that you associate with a released product must match the inventory unit that is defined for the corresponding product. The inventory unit is the unit that is used for base calculations of the on-hand inventory. You can also set up unit of measure conversions for product variants of product masters by using the Enable unit of measure conversions option.

To configure a product master to support unit conversion per variant, follow these steps.

Go to Product information management > Products > Product masters.

Create or open a product master to go to its Product details page.

Set the Enable unit of measure conversions option to Yes.

On the Action Pane, on the Product tab, in the Set up group, select Unit conversions.

The Unit conversions page opens. Select one of the following tabs:

Intra-class conversions – Select this tab to convert between units that belong to the same unit class.

Inter-class conversions – Select this tab to convert between units that belong to different unit classes.

Select New to add a new unit conversion.

Set the Create conversion for field to one of the following values:

Product – If you select this value, you can set up a unit conversion for the product master. That unit conversion will be used as a fallback for all product variants that no unit conversion is defined for.

Product variant – If you select this value, you can set up a unit conversion for a specific product variant. Use the Product variant field to select the variant.

Use the other fields that are provided to set up your unit conversion.

Select OK to save the new unit conversion.

Hope my answer can help you.

Regards,

Charlotte Xu
