Setup Unit of Measure

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 22

I feel like I must be pretty dense, as I seem to be unable to create a Unit of Measure setup that is usable.  I keep getting errors, so I must be doing something wrong.  Does anyone have a super-easy set of instructions on how to do this, step by step? I've been to many blogs and the GP Inventory guide and I'm still coming up empty.  Here's a basic example that should be easy but for some reason, I cannot get it to take in the system:

We buy a chemical by the ton (1 TON = 2,000 LB)

The invoice for the chemical comes in pounds (12.43 LB = 1 GAL)

We count the chemical in Gallons

I can only seem to get 2/3 of these in any one U of M schedule or it tells me I can't use that schedule with the item. How on earth would I get all three of these into one U of M schedule that I can use with my item, with the correct Base U of M? Like I said, I'm sure it is some easy step I'm overlooking.  I understand the concept of U of M, it is literally the how-to I am missing.  Any help is appreciated and valued.

    hi,

    Based on the your equation of ton to lb and lb to gal. Please check below the UOFM schedule.

    Since you count chemical in gallons, i kept base uofm as gallons.

    1 GAL = 1 GAL

    1 LB = (1/12.43) GAL i.e, 0.08045 GAL

    1 TON = 2000 LB = 2000 * 0.08045 GAL. i.e,  160.9 gal

    Please check and let us know whether the above uofm schedule works for you.

    Thank you so much!  It looks like I had the LB calculation backwards.  We'll try this setup and see if it works.  I knew it had to be something I was overlooking.
