Depending on the unit processing that triggered this program (i.e. a new unit was added or an existing unit was changed), the subheading of this panel will differ. The information in the middle section of the panel will also differ.
Adding a new unit
If the panel was called as a result of adding a new unit, the panel will display the new unit to be added. Click Confirm to add the new unit at item classification level to every item grouped by applicable classification definition.
Changing an existing unit or system unit type
If the panel was called a result of changing unit information for an existing unit, the panel will display the applicable unit as well as the following:
- Previous values
- New values
Click Confirm to update the applicable unit for every item grouped by applicable classification definition. Unit data to be updated are the flags for Allowed on purchase, Allowed on sales and Conversion factor. For any changes to the conversion factor a check is performed to identify if it is to be updated via a constant or a formula. If the conversion factor is to be updated via a formula, and no errors are found and the calculated conversion factor is not zero, the conversion factor will be updated with the formula’s resulting value. If an error is found (and an alert has been configured to inform you of such an error), you will receive an DC1 Alert. The following alerts can be configured for this purpose:
- ICLNEWUNIT (Item class unit download, new)
- ICLUPD_A&V (Item class unit download, update Area and Volume)
- ICLUPDUNIT (Item class unit download, update)
You must activate them and assign the applicable person as receiver. See Configure the system to send/receive alert messages for instructions.
If the panel was called a result of changing the system unit type for an existing unit, the panel will display the applicable system unit information.
