UOM vendor: automatic recalculation to UOM of the vendor

Posted on by 155

Hi,

I have an item that I sell in per piece.  I purchase the item in a box with 6 per box. I have  made the UOM per 6 pieces and gave it a purchase price. When I make an purchase order, Business Central comes again with the default UOM piece. Even when I need 2 pieces, I need to buy a box with 6 pieces. How can I automatically set the UOM in an purchase order to the UOM of the vendor?

Also with planning worksheet for purchasing, purchase orders are being generated in the default UOM and not the UOM from the vendor.

How can you deal with this in Business Central?

Thank you in advance!!

    Thank you, for your answer.

    Too bad of the con. Also with the planning worksheet BC doesn't seem to choose the vendor's unit en price when you change the default vendor..

    Hi,

    part where you can specify unit of measure per vendor is on item cross reference list

    but then only cons is that after you create PO, and enter an Item number in lines, that you need to select also Cross-Reference on PO Line to automatically fill Unit of Measure code on PO Line.

    Hi Renato,

    Thanks for your answer, that works for the default supllier. But I have an alternative supplier and there the Purchase UOM is box per 6. Is there a solution to this?

    Thank you in advance!

    Best regards,

    Brutus

    Hi,

    have you tried to use Purchase Unit of Measure and set up the Box on the item card.
