Re: Multiple Units of measure for one item

Hi,

try to look at INV120 (we use v6004) and define conversion factor kg-LB for
the item.

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?
