Item Master Maintenance Best Practices

I would like to see if anyone has documentation around Best Practices with regards to Item Master Management - specifically UOM changes. We just upgrade to 9.0.1.8 and with this version there were some IC11 uom change restrictions that have been applied. Does anyone have a complete listing of what the restrictions are and recommendations for how to process through them?

What kind of restrictions are you referring to?

As far as changing Unit of Measures on IC11: This is a must, first thing is you need to do is make sure there are no open transactions in the system for this item. Once this is confirmed you will need to adjust out any remaining stock on hand using IC24, you cannot have stock on hand when you change a UOM.

You can then change the UOM on IC11. After that you can adjust the stock on hand back in with IC24.

We use IC40 - this shows where items are - demand, allocations, supply (open orders) as step one.

This tells us if we need to cancel PO lines (to be put back at corrected uom) work the WH20, WH25, etc.

We additionally use PO45 to see if it's on any templates and PO115 to change it if it is.

Thanks for the information katVila. Are you using the PO63 for open purchase orders or have you created a add-ins or crystal query to pull Open POS to work? What version of Lawson are you running? Do you have access to the IC216 report that became available in version 9.0.1.10 or higher?

The IC40 tells us which inventory location has open POs - we usually just Drill Around. PO54 could be used easier than PO63 I would think. You could just grab all lines for the company.
