Structure unit handling allows you to define the structure in another unit than stock unit. This information will be calculated to stock unit whenever the stock quantity is needed, e.g. product costing calculation, MRP, Pull-planning (shortage, priority analysis), manufacturing orders material issue and product reception.
The structure unit and/or unit on the material lines will also be used in the manufacturing order process allowing the user to do the reporting on the unit defined for the item (structure) or the stock unit.
To be able to use Structure unit handling and view this information in the system, the following must be defined:
- The unit to be used in the structure must be defined and the Allowed on BOM flag must be set to YES. (Item file, Units)
- The structure itself must be defined with the structure unit. (Work with structure, Structure header)
