Symptoms
You might encounter one or both of the following issues when you work with units and quantities in an inventory journal:
- You don't see units or unit quantities in the inventory journal while a unit of conversion is set up for the released product, and you can't change the unit in the inventory journal.
- You see the Quantity and Unit fields in the inventory journal, but you don't see the Unit quantity field. If you change the unit, enter a quantity, and post the journal, the journal still shows the original unit of measurement for that quantity.
Resolution
To fix this issue, follow these steps.
In the Feature management workspace, make sure that the Using unit of measure and unit quantity in inventory journals feature is turned on. This feature adds the Unit and Unit quantity fields to the journal. (As of Supply Chain Management version 10.0.21, this feature is turned on by default.)
After the feature is turned on, use the Quantity, Unit quantity, and Unit fields in the following way:
- Quantity – Specify the quantity by using the default unit that is defined for the released product. However, the default unit itself isn't shown here. If a conversion is set up between the default unit and the unit that is selected in the Unit field, the Quantity field is automatically updated, based on the selections in the Unit quantity and Unit fields.
- Unit quantity – Specify the quantity by using the unit that is selected in the Unit field.
- Unit – Select the unit to apply to the value in the Unit quantity field.
