Scenario for procurement

[sandeep_pv]

All,

Scenario :

I have a material 'sticker' .

Procurement for this is done in 1000's .

ie 1000 is 1EA .

Std cost in material master also put for 1000 Nos.

So which I should take the base unit of measure.?

Please advise the config settings.

Hello Sandeep,

It's totally upto the business convenient.

If they do their major transactions (procurement, storages, issues, inventory counts) with this material in 1000s then yes, it is suggested to have base unit of measure as 1000.

In your case, it seems that they also do valuation in 1000s and procures in 1000s, so please check out the remaining business process i.e. Inventory counts and issues. if they also do in 1000s then keep UoM in 1000s.

Also consider that changing UoM will required lots of data conversion.

Regarding configuration:

- You need to just define UoM in SPRO-> General Settings -> Measuring Unit. Here you define as Bundle or EA or Unit

- Maintain this UoM in material master.

If you use some other UoM as base unit, Purchasing Unit and Issue Unit, you need to define conversion rate in material master with alternative UoM activation.

Hope this helps.

Hello Sandeep,

Yes you can use that, also you can use some other relevent UoM, but consider that if you use another unit of measure with this TH or other , you need to mention the conversion rate . Also use appropriate decimal places for this UoM so infuture you will not get any problem during issue, physical inventory.

Hope this helps
