Use this activity to create input UoM groups. Inventory parts must be connected to Input UoM Groups, if they are to use multiple units of measure. Input UoM groups define the input units, inventory unit, and the conversions that are allowed for a specific group. Use this activity to specify the input UoMs included in the group. It is also possible to determine the modules in which the use of a particular input UoM is allowed.
You can enter input UoMs that are system defined or user defined. All of these input UoMs will be converted to the Inventory UoM (which is specified on the Input UoM Group page). If you enter an user defined input unit, you can use either a direct conversion or a formula. If you use a formula, you must indicate the conversion factor between the inventory UoM and the formula UoM in the Conversion Factor field. If you enter a system defined input unit, you must indicate the conversion factor between the inventory UoM and the input UoM in the Conversion Factor field.
The Default Input UoM for Sales and Default Input UoM for Manufacturing can be set if you want a specific input UoM to appear by default in the respective process.
This activity has the following prerequisites:
As a result of this activity, an input UoM group is created. It is now possible to connect this to an inventory part.
