Units of Measure (IMPORTANT HELP)

The question is simple:

Taking the base unit of measure water, how do you read the conversion into other units?

1 Bottle

12 Kartons

144 Paletes

which means in one Karton there are 12 bottles and in one palettes are 144 bottles or


1 Bottle

0,083 Kartons

1/144 Paletes

Which is read as 1 Bottle is 0,83 Kartons and 1/144 Paletes

How does Navision work in that regard?

Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    If your Base UoM is Bottle, then other UoMs should be relative to it.

    1 Bottle = 0,083 Kartons = 1/144 Paletes is a correct convention to have. Because it always meaningful towards the Base UoM.

    Read more here about setting up Item UoMs in NAV: msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh168442(v=nav.90).aspx

    Hope it helps.

    I can just add that an item should always have just one UoM, which is called "base" UoM. There might be other numerous UoMs, re-calculated to that, but the item transactions are calculated in base UoM.
