Unit of Measure Code for Subcontracting Purchase Order

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by john.ellis 3,534

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

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

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

    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?

    Hi Inge:

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