Stock in Multiple Units.

[rohitjasawat]

Hi,

I procures Metal Sheets in different sizes with dimensions  (Length X Width X Thickness). Dimensions can be very according to requirements.

In that case I have to inform my vendor that I want 10 sheet of dimensions 3000X1250X12 mm but rates are in KG only INR 58/Kg.

Case 1 - Should I create an general Item with the name of MS Sheet thats Purchase UOM is KG and Inventory UOM is Pcs ? and dimensions will be captured with UDF.

is that possible to maintain it with conversion factor?

Case 2 -   Should I create an general Item with the name of MS Sheet thats Purchase UOM is KG and Inventory UOM is also KG ? and Item should be batch controlled so dimensions will captured in batch and also no of pcs will captured in batch but how can I check stock balance in kg and numbers. Purchase can be display with with KG and Nos both but Stock balances will not.

As per norms I have standard KG for specific dimensions but in practical scenario that KG also vary so please suggest what should I do?

How will u use those different items? If only for production, then you will create an item as parent item to all of them, and use this parent item in all BOMs.

For all those child metal sheets, convert their stock into parent item by using special production order.

The process can be automated through workflow or DI.
