UOM conversion for Buying in one UM, but stocking and selling in another

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

SCENARIO:

We will buy a 12 pack of belts at 24.00 cost from a vendor who will receive the order via EDI, using the UPC to order against. 

------The UOM would be PK, buying One unit at $24.00

We will then receive it into our warehouse using the same order, once the vendor ships it.

-----The UOM  at the DC would be EA, receiving in twelve units at $2.00 each

Accounting would invoice via EDI for the One unit at $24.00

Inventory would remain in eaches, with a cost value of $2.00 each till sold

Can the above scenario take place, and if so---how do we set up for this to happen?

Thank you!

    Hi mm,

    This is standard functionality. On a released product you can set the inventory unit to be EA (each). The purchase unit can set to PK. Or this can also be EA but override it on the purchase order. (The sales unit would also be EA then).

    Also you mention the unit of conversion of PK to ea so that the conversion would happen correctly. If the 1 PK is 12 EA mention that in unit of conversion.

    Sree is correct with his addition. Note that you can setup the UOM conversion in general or per item.

    Hi,

    You can use Unit of measure conversion. The Purchase unit can be PK while Inventory and sell unit can be each. You can define the conversion for the item, the conversion option is available on item master itself. Let us know if you have any questions.
