In the Parts Order Lines tab of a Purchase Order, there is a column called “Inv Conv Fact”. Additional information for this column states, “This field displays the conversion factor between the purchase unit and the inventory unit. The formula is as follows: Purchasing unit = inventory unit * purchasing conversion factor.” We have a part which has a problem in its setup and is creating an Inv Conv Fact of 174 in this column. I’ve tried to research where the inventory unit and puchasing conversion factors are but I’m not finding them. Does anybody know where these are?

Thank you for your quick response, Matt. These fields look good on the part for both suppliers, so something else must be factoring in somewhere.
Do you have a supplier agreement or a price list setup for the parts?
If not, then the only other place this can be changed is on the purchase order itself.
Are the POs being created manually and directly?
Are the POs being created from requisitions?
Are the POs being created from any kind of import from another system?
It is somewhere in that mix, as Matt showed, the source is really the SfPP for the conversion.

We are catching problems in our Supplier for Purchase Part inventory conversion factors up to a year after purchase order lines are closed. We would like to go back and correct the data so that people querying the data capture the correct information. Does anyone have a suggestion for how to accomplish this?
