Work with manufacturing batch units of measure

If an item is stocked in one unit of measure but produced in another, a production order is created that uses a manufacturing batch unit of measure to calculate the correct quantity of the components when you run the Refresh Production Order batch job. An example of a manufacturing batch unit of measure calculation is when a manufactured item is stocked in pieces but produced in tons.

To create a production BOM using a batch unit of measure

  1. The manufacturing batch unit of measure is set up as an alternative unit of measure on the Item Units of Measure page on the item to be produced. The batch unit of measure doesn't replace the base unit of measure on the item.
  2. Create a production BOM for the item set up with the manufacturing batch unit of measure. For more information, see Create Production BOMs.
  3. In the Unit of Measure Code field, select the manufacturing batch unit of measure.
  4. For each production BOM line, in the Quantity Per field, enter the quantity of this component item that is required to create this batch unit of measure.
  5. Change status of production BOM to Certified.

To calculate a manufacturing batch unit of measure on a production order

Because production order headers don't allow you to specify a unit of measure, specify it in production order line.

  1. Create a production order header using an item that has a manufacturing batch unit of measure.
  2. In the Item No. field in the production order line, type the same item number used in the header.
  3. In the Quantity field, enter the same quantity used in the header.
  4. In the Unit of Measure Code field, select the manufacturing batch unit of measure code.
  5. Choose the Refresh action.
  6. On the Calculate FastTab, clear the Lines checkbox.
  7. Choose the OK button.
  8. On the Lines FastTab, choose the Line action, and then choose the Components action to view the result. The correct quantity of the components needed to satisfy the production BOM is calculated based on the manufacturing batch unit of measure.
