How to: Create a Purchase Order in Purchase Unit of Measure

When a purchase order is created from the Purchase Replenishment Journal, it can be created in Purch. Unit of Measure if the quantity ordered is a full multiple. For example, the Purch. Unit of Measure for an item is set to BOX and it is known that there are 50 PCS in 1 BOX, examples of full multiples would be 50, 100, or 150 PCS since they are equivalent to 1, 2, or 3 BOXES.

To create a purchase order in Purchase Unit of Measure

Note: The Purch. Replen. Journal UoM Handling field in Replen. Setup must first be set to Convert to Purch. UoM if Possible. See Using Purchase Unit of Measure for more information.

  1. Click the icon, enter Purchase Replenishment Journal, and select the relevant link.
  2. Add items to the journal lines, and calculate the Replenishment Journal. See Replenishment Journals for more information on how to work with the journal.
  3. To create Purchase Orders, click the Create Purchase Orders action under the Functions action menu.
  4. The Purchase Order will be created in Purch. Unit of Measure, if the Quantity in the Journal Lines is a full multiple.

Example:

  • Base Unit of Measure = PCS
  • Purch. Unit of Measure = BOX (1 BOX contains 50 PCS)

The Purchase Replenishment Journal is calculated and 100 PCS of Samantha Dress will be purchased.

When the Purchase Order is created from the Replenishment Journal, the quantity to be ordered for Samantha Dress will be converted to 2 BOX as 100 PCS is a full multiple.
