Unit of Measure Code for Subcontracting Purchase Order

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by john.ellis 3,482

Hi:

The Unit of Measure Code appearing in the Purchase Order for subcontracting is "PCS".  We would like for it to be "LBS", instead.

Is there a "setup" that can make this happen?

Thanks!

John

    Hi Inge:

    No, it's the first.  We send a phantom BOM to the subcontractor.

    IS the subcontractor routing step the last step you have in your manufacturing routing? So it is basically the finished goods you send to the subcontractor?

    @Kim: Unfortunately, it's not pulling the unit of measure form the Work Center.  It appears to be doing so from the Finished Good.

    Try your unit of measure on your subcontract work center. Make sure that you have the Item Unit of Measure setup.
