Dual unit of measure

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

Is it possible to maintain dual unit of measure for a material in ECC 6. Meaning there should be 2 unit of measures, without any conversion factor.

This is a requirement of a diamond company which wants to maintain the stocks in Pieces as well as Carats.

Hi,

You can only have one base unit of measure and any number of of UOMs with conversion factors. But in your case the number of carats do not relate to the UOM of each.

You do not need to use carat as a UOM.

I would suggest that you use classification and allocate a characteristic of carat.

Then each material master record can have whatever UOM that is relevant (each, piece etc.) but you can have the number of carats stored in the classification view of the material master.

If each individual item can have different carats then you might want to consider batch management. That way each diamond can have a different number of carats and you would use a unique id as the batch number.

But you basic question of having multiple unrelated UOMs is not possible.

P.S. If you want to give any award in DIAMONDS instead of points then I am sure that we would all accept this (smile)

dear surendra,

This is not possible,bcoze a have only one Base unit of measure means only

One stock keeping unit.U maintainthe stock only in one Unit, U have the option to

Purchase material as well as issue material in different unit with the help on conversion factor so it is not required to maintain stock in two dif unit.

Hi SSR,

For this scenario you can have conversion 1:1, but without having this it is not possible.
