Peter,

Are you doing any type of U/M conversion on the usage side?

Thanks,  

Gary H. Sutton

For example, we have an inventory part that we buy it by feet but it is
stocked
by inches.  The ITEMBL record will look like:

UNMSR - IN
PURUM - FT
UMCNV - 12.00000

What the system does is that multiplies the transaction qty by this
conversion
factor and you have you stocking transaction qty.

Received to Stock - 10.000 Feet
Conversion factor - 12.00000
Result - 120.000 inches

Hope this helps,
