Managing Purchase UoM and Stock UoM
When purchasing an item, you can set purchase UoM (Unit of Measurement) which could be different from item's stock UoM.
Scenario:
Item ABC is stocked in Nos, but purchased in Cartons. Hence in the Purchase Order, you will need to update UoM as Carton.
1. Editing Purchase UoM
Step 1.1: Edit UoM in the Purchase Order
In the Purchase Order, you will find two UoM fied.
- UoM
- Stock UoM
In both the fields, default UoM of an item will be updated. You should edit UoM field, and select Purchase UoM (Carton in this case).
Step 1.2: Update UoM Conversion Factor
In one Carton, if you get 20 Nos. of item ABC, then UoM Conversion Factor would be 20.
Based on the Qty and Conversion Factor, qty will be calculated in the Stock UoM of an item. If you purchase just one carton, then Qty in the stock UoM will be set as 20.
2. Stock Ledger Posting
Irrespective of the Purchase UoM selected, stock ledger posting will be done in the Default UoM of an item only. Hence you should ensure that conversion factor is entered correctly while purchasing item in different UoM.
With this, we can conclude that, updating Purchase UoM is mainly for the reference of the supplier. In the print format, you will see item qty in the Purchase UoM.
3. Setting Conversion Factor in the Item master
In the Item master, under Purchase section, you can list all the possible purchase UoM of an item, with its UoM Conversion Factor.
