Re: Field Limitations (Stocking UOM)

Kim,

You are correct that the only solution at this time is to either change
the UOM to thousands for the existing item.

Or create a like item and have its UOM be thousands and then do a
warehouse transfer.

Subject: [BPCS-L] Field Limitations (Stocking UOM)

Hi,

We currently have an item set-up with a stocking unit of measure in
eaches. Due to the large volume of this item, we are running into a
problem. Our inventory balance is exceeding 99,999,999 (BPCS character
limit) and we are having to manually balance our inventory at month-end
in our sub-ledger INV903. We are thinking of creating a new item number
with a unit of measure in thousands. This may solve our problem for now,
but depending on our growth we may one day again reach the BPCS limit.  

 

Has anyone run across a similar problem? What solutions have you come up
with?

 

Thanks,

Kim
