Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hello,
I have the following case.

Master product -> PT_01 in unit EA (Each)
3 Variant product with conversion unit (EA -> G)
PV_100 gram
PV_200 gram
PV_500 gram

I create purchase order on three product variant in unit EA, next I confirm the PO and I create product receipt.

When I check the inventory of this master product in warehouse and store, so I see only inventory in the unit EA.

I would need to see inventory in the unit gram.

How Can I configure it in AX?

Please, help me.

Aleksandra

RE: Retail: Unit of conversion on the product variants

Hello,

I have a simillar issue on using unit conversion on product variants.

After enabling it I'm trying to find a process in the standard application that actually uses the conversion per product variant (not per product master).

UnitOfMeasureConverter and UnitOfMeasureConverter_Product are the classes used for conversion but whenever their methods are called the Product RecId used is the one from InventTable.Product which points to the Product master RecId.

Does anyone know a flow on which the product variants conversions are actually used?

Thank you!

Thank you for your reply Oksana.

I checked code and I had the same code like you.

According to the following.

I have just defined unit conversion for the realased product variant not master product.

According Microsoft (technet) conversion for variants should be work in AX.

I understand that variants of a product can only be added to the master product.

How do you think?

Hi Aleksandra,

Are you checking on-hand for Product Master or Product Variant?
Do you receive the same error, when opening 'On-hand' form from 'Released product variants' form?

What I see in code is: if product is product master, unit conversion cannot be applied to it, it can be applied only to product variants.
Looks like the same is described on TechNet as following:

If you double-click on the error in Infolog, your AX should open X++code with highlighted line related to error. I assume this should be line shown on picture below.
Could you, please, check?

RE: Retail: Unit of conversion on the product variants

Regarding point B. Product Master with variant product - conversion unit not works well.

I created master product PT0002 with variant product PT0003: :300g: :

I selected checkbox "Enable unit of measure conversions" on the general data on material master.

I set up unit conversions for variant product -> inter-class conversions (Calculate beetween units 1ea = 300g).

I realesed product with variant. I set up unit EA for purchase, sell, manage inventory, engineer, on master product.

I setup unit sequence group ID ea/g.

I assigned reservation hierarchy "Default" to product.

And I created purchase order on variant product 300g with unit G I had following infolog.

"Product variant unit conversions are not supported for this process. Please check the setup for product master PT0002."

I can only order goods in the unit ea.

I confirmed this PO and I created product receipt.

When I checked on-hand inventory on this product I can saw only inventory in unit EA.

When I show Other unit and when I selected unit G I had following infolog: "Product variant unit conversions are not supported for this process. Please check the setup for product master PT0002."

I need see on-hand inventory in unit G.

How Can I configure it in AX?

RE: Retail: Unit of conversion on the product variants

Hi,

Regarding unit conversion on the AX system I had the following two cases.

A. Product Item without variant product - conversion unit works well

I prepared test on the Product item (PT_12). I created product item with inter-class conversions (1ea = 250,00g).

Next I created 2 Purchase Order on this product.

When I checked on-hand inventory for this product. I saw inventory with inventory unit EA and other unit G. Where the unit EA on G very well be converted (23 EA = 5750 G).

I would need that conversion units to work properly for product variants.

B. Product Master with variant product - conversion unit not works well

I found follwoing help on the technet, but on my system, this functionality does not work well.

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn553191.aspx

Below my version AX system.

In the license configuration I have all the selected options (System administration > Setup > Licensing > License configuration. Expand the Trade license key, and select the Warehouse and Transportation management configuration key).

Best regards,

Aleksandra

Hi Aleksandra,

As far as I know, it is not possible for AX to have a different inventory unit for each of a product's variants.

Would you get what you want by setting the inventory unit for the master product to gram, and the purchasing unit to EA?

RE: Retail: Unit of conversion on the product variants

Hi Aleksandra,

Could you, please, explain where you created 'conversion units' for product variants?
As I know, inventory unit is specified on product and it will be used in all inventory transactions.
