Work with item classification definition, Units (DMR16301)

Related topics

To be able to add a unit for the item, it must exist in the Unit table. You add the units that are to be valid for the item and then assign the applicable unit to the required system unit types on the Item file maintenance, System units panel.

Note: If the CLA-COPR (Classification costing/pricing) function is activated in the Function control file and changes are done to units (fields Allowed on sales, Allowed on purchase and/or Conversion factor) or system units or units are deleted, an integrity check is performed to check that the unit is not used in purchase or sales pricing routines. If no errors are found in the integrity check routine, a unit download program is called to populate changes to the items connected to the item classification profile 1 and profile 2.

Unit
This field is used only for new entries. Enter a code from the Unit table, indicating the unit that you wish to establish for this item. Several units can be defined for one item, enabling you to sell/purchase the item in a different unit of measure than the one in which it is stored in stock.
Number of decimals
Enter the number of decimals which must be defined when using this unit on orders. The range of decimals can be 0 to 3. If nothing is entered, 0 will automatically be defaulted. If the item is under serial number tracking, the number of decimals for the stock unit must be 0.
Allowed on sales
Mandatory entry. Indicate if this unit is valid on sales orders for this item.
Allowed on MDC
Mandatory entry. This field is only displayed if DC1 Multi-Distribution Centre (MDC) is installed and activated. Indicate if this unit is valid on both MDC purchase orders and MDC sales orders. Note: If a unit is defined for MDC, the same unit must exist for this item in both the demanding company and the supplying company. This field must be set to YES for both companies.
Allowed on purchase
Mandatory entry. Indicate if this unit is valid on purchase orders for this item.
Default price unit
Price unit handling is typically used when you want to price your items in a different unit than the sales/purchase unit. There is the possibility to set up different default Sales/Purchase price units per item for the different unit values. The default values will only be used when prices are created and when prices are manually entered for order lines but no price unit is manually entered. Optional entry. Enter the default price unit for this item. See About price unit handling for more information.

Mandatory entry. You can enter a conversion factor constant here or a Conversion factor formula, below, but not both. Enter the conversion factor which will determine the relation between this unit and the stock unit.

The labelling code defined here is used when you want to label goods whilst in stock. The labels are printed by the Print stock control labels program. If the field is left blank, a default labelling code, defined in the DIS control file in the Labelling code field, is used when printing labels for stock handling.
Package type
Enter a code from the Package type table indicating the type of packaging required by this item/unit combination. This information allows the Shipment preparation process to control the weight and volume of goods that are delivered. The information in this field is also used by the Pick list confirmation routines.

On this panel you assign a unit to the applicable system unit type. If the system unit type is a required type (i.e. defined in Work with system unit types), it is mandatory that you assign a unit here. Any non-required system unit types, however, can still be assigned a unit for the item.

Note: If the CLA-COPR (Classification costing/pricing) function is activated in the Function control file and changes are done to units (i.e. the Allowed on sales, Allowed on purchase and/or Conversion factor fields) or system units or units are deleted, an integrity check is performed to check that the unit is not used in purchase or sales pricing routines. If no errors are found in the integrity check routine, a unit download program is called to populate changes to the items connected to the item classification profile 1 and profile 2.
