UOM translations that are vendor specific

gtesche

We have used universal UOM translations in ED40 in the past, and have been able to get rid of most of them since more vendors have changed to ANSI standards.

Has anyone setup vendor specific UOM translations in lieu of changing the UOM on ALL the items? In this example, Braun apparently uses PC instead of EA, but we have most of our Braun items setup in inventory, so changing the UOM would be a ton of work with adjusting out inventory, correcting, and adjusting back in.

What I was considering is a UOM translation for Braun from EA to PC outbound, and then another UOM translation for Braun from PC to EA inbound.

Thoughts?

I have done this in the past when the vendor would send CS instead of CA for case. Haven't see that in quite a while. What about adding PC as the primary Buy UOM for these items where 1PC = 1EA? PC would show on the PO line and the invoice would match correctly. The quantity would convert one to one to your stock UOM of EA in inventory.
