Question

Unit not consistent


Forum|alt.badge.img+3

Dear Community,

The case is as follows:

Case of unit not consistent
The customer buys 1 steel coil (purchase unit) with a conversion of 1000kg (stock unit).
When weighed on receipt, the coil has a different weight, e.g. 1100kg.
We wish to enter 1100kg in stock (production consumption unit for MRP...) and 1 coil in purchase unit (the price will not change).
We've looked into the possibility of using capture units, but as the storage unit hasn't changed, this doesn't seem to be the answer.


Do you have any other ideas?
Thank you in advance!
 

Best regards,

Isabelle

Hi, 

I think your material measurement unit is as follows

In this case, if the kg given on the material is different, you can update the conversion factor in the purchase order line before receiving the delivery.

After the update, only the kg to be delivered for the relevant order line changes. The kg on the order is delivered to stock.

Hello ​@Piyal Perera ,

thank you for your reply, yes we have checked Catch Qty functionality but it has no impact on the quantity used by MRP for example, so it is not useful as an actual quantity. It is only informativ, as I know.

Regards,

Isabelle
