ReportHi Community,
I have a question regarding unit conversions and would appreciate your feedback on the impact of a specific scenario we encountered.
The Scenario
We have a product (Item 111) that follows this flow:
- Purchased: in Mass (kg)
- Stored/Used: in Length (m)
- Sold: in Mass (kg)
Current setup
Unit definitions
- kg:
- m:
Inter-class conversion
- Setup like below for this product:
|
Product
|
Definition | From unit | To unit | Rounding |
| 111 | 1 kg = 0.45248868 m | kg | m | to nearest |
Incident
- We created a Purchase Order (PO) for Item 111 using Warehouse A and Location X.
- The PO was confirmed successfully.
- We performed the Item Arrival and Reception BUT used Warehouse B and Location Y.
- Result: the PO line remained in Open status.
- Correction: I went to the Item Arrival department and requested a reception for the Warehouse A and Location X.
- Outcome: the PO line was finally received, BUT we were left with a residual quantity (displayed as 0.00) in the Warehouse A. We had to create a negative inventory journal (with a quantity of 0.00) to clear this out.
Questions
- Unit Conversion: did the rounding settings contribute to this residual quantity? Or maybe unit definition (with a decimal precision of 3)?
- Process Impact: what is the recommended best practice when an arrival is posted to another warehouse/location? Is a manual journal the only fix, or should we have reversed the arrival first?
- System Behavior: why did the system leave a "ghost" quantity (even if 0.00) that required a journal entry to clear?
Thanks for your help!
BR,
Gii
