110I would like to change the UOM for some of our items in Dynamics AX2009 SP1, but the system doesn't allow this change. The change that I am proposing is a 1 to 1 unit of measure conversion, so costing and inventory issues should not come in to play. Here is my problem. When our unit of measure data was set up, the EACH unit of measure was used incorrectly, in my opinion (don't even try to argue, 'cause I won't give in!) The EA unit of measure is always a whole number that cannot be used in fractional quantities. Our EA was set up with two decimal places and was used for many items that are divisible, like sheets of plywood. I want to change the items that are designate as EA, but can be used in fractional quantities to SH, PC, or some other UOM that has decimal places allowed. WHY you ask? Master Planning creates planned orders from the sales forecast that don't round up to the nearest whole number. We get a funny look from the production floor when an order for 1/2 of a table slips through!
So, I am thinking of a brute fore approach to changing the data and am looking for pitfalls that I haven't thought of. Sadly, we started cleaning this up back in Axapta 3.0 but didn't get done before the conversion. Can anyone think of problems that I haven't foreseen?
