Hi,
I have created an Item with the Unit of Measure group as Manual. I want to maintain inventory for this item in Pkts, but it is purchased in Kgs.
In the A/P Invoice, there are 3 fields for quantity: Quantity, Items per Unit and Qty (Inventory UoM). All 3 fields are editable.
My qty in Purchasing Unit is 300 kgs, and Qty in Inventory Unit is 100 Pkts. If I enter Purchase Qty as 300 and Items per Unit as 0.33, then the system calculates Inventory Qty as 99 which is wrong. If I manually change it to 100, then the Purchase Qty changes to 300.03 which is also wrong.
What is the solution?
I do not want to swap the units. I want to maintain Inventory in Pkts only, since Pkts can be easily counted during Stock Count. Since the Items Per Unit is not fixed, I have used the Manual Unit group. Due to weight and packaging variations, 1 Packet can be of 49 kgs or 50 kgs or 49.5 kgs, etc.
Thanks.
