Re: Multiple Units of measure for one item

As Al Mac says, depending on your version.  We're on 6.01.01 and I think
it's just setting up stocking (LB) UOM and selling (KG) UOM for the item,
defining the conversion factor (INV120B) and letting the system handle the
rest.  I've had to modify some of the reports (BOL, packing list) to handle
customer requirements on what they see on the paperwork, but it's nothing
major.

We are a US based company working in LB. We are opening a new facility in
Canada that will work with KG. They will manufacture and distribute all
their products in KG. Our Canadaian customers will order in KG from both
our Canada and US warehouses.

How can I define items in BPCS to accomodate for both needs?

The idea I had was to create duplicate items with a suffix of some sort for
the KG managed items. When our Canadian facility or customers order it from
us in the USA we would create orders in KG and debit inventory in LB in the
US warehouse (using the selling U/M conversion factor from the Item
Master). When they receive it in BPCS at our facility in Canada they would
need to convert it to the KG based item so that it can be received and
managed in KG in their inventory.

Is there a better way to handle this?
