Hi all!
At the site i'm working on, the primary Unit of Measure was set up in Metric tons. Now they are investigating setting up a company in US (in the same environment) and sell same products in Gallons (GA)
The conversion is, roughly, 1 TM = 0,003212 GA
They could live with the rounding of quantities but the problem is that they use Kits with multiple components (for example a blend of oils is 33% product 1 and 67% product 2)
This causes all kinds of problems in Ship confirm ("quantities must balance")
I'm just about ready to hunt down and hang the consultant who gave them the advice to set the primary UOM to TM as they already had sales for kilograms)
Anyway, the only solution i can see (getting rid of Kit processing is not an option) is to change the Primary UOM to KG (kilogram) OR to create new items.
I am investigating the avenue of changing the Primary UOM. Has anyone had any experiences with this? I have read the document in Knowledge Garden and am pretty fly with the JDE data model but nothing beats advice from someone who's been there..
ERP 8, WinNT server, MSSQL, Citrix
All items are set up us packed (although the ECS flag in ON)
We are using
- Transportation (No Loads, only shipments)
- Kits (single-level only)
- Sales and Purchasing
- Financials G/L, A/R and A/P
Regards.....
