UOM conversion - Sales forecast and planning worksheet

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MMcdowell 24

Hi all,

I have Item A, with a base unit of measure in CASE, there's also each

Case  = 1

EA = 1575

I've created a forecast entry as seen below. It's required that the forecast is entered in EA, so 1575 is entered into the field "Forecast quantity base". Then forecast quantity auto-fils to 1 (which is good).

Then I go to run the planning worksheet against this forecast, and it populates an action message with unit of measure as CASE, but using the 1575, where I would expect to see 1 case as the suggestion.

I can't figure out why the MRP engine isn't converting. Am I missing something?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi

    Maybe I am missing something. Usually Base Unit of Measure is the smallest unit of measure that you keep in inventory. Hence, in your case EA should be Base UOM and then Case will be UOM. But you may have a good business reason for it.

    For test, in demand can you populate 1 case and try to planning worksheet?

    I will try to see if I can replicate the same scenario as well.

    How is your Item unit of measure set up is the EA defined as 1/1575 of a case?

    Hi

    As Inge mention can you please post the picture of UOM conversion page? I mean for EA do you have 1/1575 case or do you have 1575?

    As others are alluding to…

    Your each represents 1575 cases if what you have described is how you have actually configured BC.

    If there are 1,575 eaches in one case, the qty per on the each should be 1/1575

    Hi Inge, yes that was what I was missing. Thanks so much. I tried to respond earlier but I keep getting an error when replying.
