Gross Weight on the Item Card Vs Weight on the Item Unit of Measure table

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by B@houston

We are creating some customization to calculate the total package weight per sales order.  However, we would like to understand how these different weight fields on Item card is used compared to the weights defined on the UOM table, so that we can ensure the customization is built in a generic way. 

* Gross weight on the item card defines weight per Base UOM, 

* UOM table can define weight for Base UOM as well

* UOM table can define weight for Other UOM based on the Gross Weight on Item Card * Qty Per UOM, but the weight can be overwritten by users

Thank you for your help.

    Hello,

    The Gross Weight on the Item Card is the Base UOM Gross Weight for the Item. The Net Weight is just that Net Weight for the Item Base UOM. This means if the Base UOM = EA and the Gross = 2LB and Net = 1LB I should be able to look at my Sales Order and take the Selling UOM and perform any calculation using the Item UOM table. So if I am selling by Case, which = 12 EA, then my total Gross Weight = 24 and Net = 12.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    I believe those measurement fields in the item UOM table are used to calculate cubage which is associated with bin capacity logic.
