Alternative unit of measure

[Former Member]

Suppose I have a base unit KG for a material and alternative unit of measure Lit for this material and we have maintained a relation for that.

Now suppose this material is coming from 2 vendor but due to some quality problem the material is coming from venor A and Vendor B are not same and the relation of KG and Litter may differ for 2 vendor.

Now when I am making GR against this 2 vendor the quatity may differ due to the relation differ.

How can I handle the inventory against the AUM for this material?

Hi,

Check if Active Ingredient Management can work for your scenario.

Hi,

You have to use that Unit Ltr as a Batch Specific Unit of measure.And most imp condition for this is Material is Batch Managed.

hai ,

when same materials weight changes from vendor to vendor because of viscosity or density etc.., so in order to cater this kind of problem . you have to go for BSUMN, , ie you have to handle the stock in batches and you have to matintain Batch specific unit of mesure.
