Hi All, we have the following situation: Our Customer types in all Measures (Length, Width) in mm, but the Base unit of Measure is Meter or QM. In Purchase we have added new fields for this, but now i want if i better use the existing fields or better add new fields in Production. Example: There is an Item with “Base Unit of Measure” = Meter. In a Production BOM you can fill the Field “Length” with for example 1,05 (formula = Meter) and the quantity is filled automatically with the correct value. But…i want to fill the field Length with 1050 (mm). Solution 1: New Fields in Tables “Production BOM Line”, “Prod. Order Component”, … (Any other Tables?) for typing in the Length (and Width) in mm. But is there any other place where i have to add these new fields? Solution 2: Changing the Code to calculate the correct quantity in Tables “Production BOM Line”, “Prod. Order Component”, … (Any other Tables?) But are there any other places where i have to correct the calculation of the quantity or where the fields Length or width are used and i have to take a look at? Any suggestions, Tips or hints? Thanks in advance!!! Greetings, Frank
Hi Frank Set the UOM on the production BOM to mm would be a good hint - assuming you fill in the conversion to the base UOM - then the Production BOM will be in mm. Is this too simple? Am I missing something in your explanation?
