Re: Inventory question (System 21) -- SYSTEM21

Hi Margaret

This is a common problem. There are two possible solutions that I have usedin different instances. Both have drawbacks, but these are often outweighedby the advantages.

1. If you can delete ALL the stock movements against this item in allstockrooms, you can then edit the item master. Although you lose history,there is no forcing of the system.

2. You can alter the purchasing unit in the stockrooms (INP60) at any time.Ensure there are NO outstanding purchase orders and dfu the PUNT35 field inINP35. This will cause problems when viewing history in inventory andpurchasing, but as long as users are aware of this, it is OK.

If you need any further general advice (as being specific is difficult),please give me a call in the UK on 07710 417822

Subject: [SYSTEM21] Inventory question (System 21)

We have some user who wants to change the purchasing unit of measure on an
existing part that has transactions against it.  Naturally, the system
will not let you do it because of the ramifications.  The users do not
want the part number to changed since we share the part number with 2 of
our sister companies.  The purchasing unit of measure will go from pounds
to kilograms.  Has anyone had any similar issues?  If so, any comments?
Thanks,  Margaret
