Client has a coil of steel, that can vary in weight due to the thickness of when it was rolled. It has a + and - tolerance and can be different every time. The base unit of measure is in LBS. I have seen discussion on having to create a unique UOM to get an exact conversion. That is what we have done and everything works great on the issue of the components. The problem we are having is the receipt of the MO to create the FG. We told the MO to make 2 coils from 1 coil, when we receive the MO it wants to add 2 lbs. instead of 2* the correct UOM which in this case = 5250lbs, so it should be adding 10,500 lbs. when the order is done. This is due to the Base unit of measure for the FG item defaulting to lbs. and cannot be changes and the Qty. to Build cannot be anything other than a 1. Is there a way to change the Base unit of measure on the BOM or is there another way of handling this.

Don't look at the slitting item, that is a service item.
I cannot change the quantity to build or the UOM on the FG Item, it has 1 for the qty. to build, and the UOM is the base UOM from the item Card. This is for the item at the TOP of the list.
I have a conversion called 15030212 = 5025.00 lbs.
I tell the BOM that I need 2 of these and the extended quantity is 10500.00 lbs., which is correct.
When I issue on the Component entry screen, all is good it reduces the raw material fine.
When I receive the MO from the MO Receipt Screen, it will create 2lbs and not 10500.00 lbs, which is a problem, The MO Receipt is looking at the base UOM and I need it to use the 15030212.
Both items are using the same UOM Schedule.
Hi Joe,
On the above BOM you are building a BOM using coil of qty 2 and slitting of qty 1 but the Qty to Build is only 1. So if you wanted to build qty 2 from a coil qty of 1 you might wanted to give component qty 0.5 so depending up ending qty of MO the component will get issued. What is UOM given for BOM item number if its each change the same into desired UOM to build. Please let me know if I am not clear or my understanding is not correct.
this look ok Joe please share the BOM also.
Is this any better?
Joe,
I cant read both of the screen shot since its really tiny, please make it little bit bigger.
Joe,
the screen shot is tiny also its not BOM window.
