PO RECEIPT - WRONG UM
03/11/04 at 09:33:34

I have an item:

Type "R"
STOCK UM = IN
PRICE UM = IN
PRUCH UM = FT
PO CONV. MULT = 12

I have ordered & received this item numerous times with no problems. But now I show one receipt that puts it into inventory as feet, not inches (I received ordered 24 feet, but I show 24 inches received, not 288")

Why did this happen???

It seems like we have a lot of problems when using conversions, especially with pricing. Does anyone else have problems?

I had a client that did a LOT of purchasing of steel where it was bought in feet and stocked by the inch. And the 2 purchasers had to be VERY careful to make sure that DBA did not spontaneously change the unit of measure in the PO or in the receiving process. But it was very sporadic so it was near impossible to identify the root cause. Sorry for the bad news, just being honest..... undecided

We use UM conversion on a number of items and have never seen a system-related problem.

We occasionally have a problem where the person entering the receipt tries to 'out think' the system and keys in the wrong quantity. This can appear to be an error like the one described above.

I would look carefully at the transaction in question.

I thought at 1st it was the receiving people as well, but had to change my tune when I saw it happen.

So it will likely never be solved.

It will slow things down a bit clicking through the messages but could pinpoint where the Conversion factor is getting changed. If anyone is interested, let me know.
