Unit of measures in production

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I need an ideas regarding my issue. The client wants to monitor their inventory by milimeter. When they buy the item it is in pcs. Consider the following following scenario:

1.) The client bought 2 pcs of rod which is equivalent of 2,000 mm. Means 1,000mm/pc or 1 mtr ./pc if my conversion is correct.

ItemCode:     Rod

Description:   Rod 30X150

2.) The client bought again another Rod. Same Rod but in different length. 1 pc which is equivalent to 2,000 mm. Means 2,000/pc or 2mtr/pc.

ItemCode:     Rod

Description:   Rod 30X300

Issue:

1.) The UOM is mm. So in my inventory I already have 3,000 mm but I don't know how many pieces..

2.) If I use the item in production and there is a left over how can I handle that? Say I issue 500mm in the production where I get it from 30X15 wrhich brings me a leftover of 500 in the piece and a total of 1,500 for the 30X150 or 3,500 for the overall quantity.

Do you have any suggestion how can I make this process simple? Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Make Rod as batch wise. Receive Rod in its actual length under quantity field. For showing Quantity of Rodon PO & GRPO, create UDF on the purchase and GRPO.

Hi,

Normally we buy in piece and then we  will define number of quantity per pc in bill of material.

For example:

Diameter 50 mm x 100 = 5 Pcs

We buy Diameter 50mm x 100mms 1 Pc. ie. PO Qty = 1pc

In BOM we will define parent item = 10   Child item =  1 pc ( Da 50 x 100mm)

In this way, there is no problem in controlling inventory unit as well as quantity.

Thanks &  Regards,

Hi Nagarajan,

Thank you for our reply. But how can I monitor the leftover? In my case, I have a lot of BOM. Do you count your item separately if you buy it in different length though the same item? If you only receive 1 finish goods, then your item will be like 4.9 pcs?

Hi,

If I buy different length, the PO quantity always like 1 pc, 2 pc. so there is no  problem in inventory count.

Hi,

But is that counted on the same item? You bought item like for example Rod in different length, you still count it as rod in pc even different items? I think my case is different. My client want to monitor the length and the pcs and the leftove.
