If the Multiple Units of Measure feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, you can also specify the UOMs to be used as the default sales and purchase units for the stock item, and the conversion rules for these units and other UOMs that can apply to the item. You can select UOMs from the list of those available in the system or type new units of measure that will be used for only this item.

For more information, see Units of Measure: General Information.

CAUTION: If you need to change the item's base UOM (or the sales or purchase UOM, if applicable), make sure that the rules for conversion between old and new UOMs are specified before you can use the item in any new transaction.
Element Description
Base Unit

Required. The UOM used as the base unit for this stock item. All other units in the Unit Conversion table are expressed with respect to this unit.

For a new stock item, if a base unit is specified for the item class on the Item Classes (IN201000) form, it is copied to this box as the default unit. You can override this value.

For an existing stock item, you cannot change the base unit if any of the following conditions are met:

Divisible Unit

A check box that indicates (if selected) that decimal quantities of the item in the base UOM can be specified in inventory documents (issues, receipts, transfers, and adjustments), shipments, and purchase receipts.

When the check box is cleared, the system validates the quantities of the item, making sure that they are integers, in these documents.

If the Kit Assembly feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form and a user includes stock components with base UOMs for which the check box is cleared in a kit specification, the system validates the quantity of the components included in the kit, making sure each quantity is an integer, when the user attempts to save the specification. When a user assembles or disassembles a kit that includes stock components with base UOMs that are not divisible on the Kit Assembly (IN307000) form, the system validates the quantities of the stock components in the document, making sure that they are integers.

By default, this check box is selected.

Sales Unit

The UOM to be used as the sales unit for the stock item. The default value (if any) is specified on the Item Classes (IN201000) form.

This box is displayed only if the Multiple Units of Measure feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

This is a required setting.

Divisible Unit

A check box that indicates (if selected) that decimal quantities of the item in the sales UOM can be specified in sales orders, shipments, and invoices.

If the check box is cleared, only integer quantities of the item in the sales UOM can be specified in these sales documents. If the item can be sold in other UOMs, the system validates the quantity of each item converted to the sales UOM to be sure that it is an integer. For drop-ship sales, the system does not make sure that each item quantity is an integer.

By default, this check box is selected.

This box is displayed only if the Multiple Units of Measure feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Purchase Unit

The UOM to be used as the purchase unit for the stock item. The default value (if any) is specified on the Item Classes (IN201000) form.

This box is displayed only if the Multiple Units of Measure feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

This is a required setting.

Divisible Unit

A check box that indicates (if selected) that decimal quantities of the item in the purchase UOM can be specified in purchase orders and receipts.

If the check box is cleared, only integer quantities of the item in the purchase UOM can be specified in these purchase documents. If the item can be purchased in other UOMs, the system does not validate the quantity of the item converted to the purchase UOM to be sure that the quantity is an integer.

By default, this check box is selected.

This box is displayed only if the Multiple Units of Measure feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Weight Item A check box that indicates (if selected) that the item is weighted. If this check box is selected, when a user scans the barcode of the item on the Pick, Pack, and Ship (SO302020) form, the system requires the user to enter the item quantity before the user can confirm the line. The entered value is specified as the picked quantity of the line (in Pick mode) or the packed quantity of the line (in Pack mode).

The values of the following boxes are used by the system only when the value of the Source box is Manufacturing.
Min. Order Qty.

The minimum quantity of the item used by the system for inventory planning. The system also uses this value in the cost roll process when the lot size of this stock item is zero.

Max. Order Qty. The maximum quantity of the item used by the system for inventory planning.
Lot Size The order multiple that the system uses in inventory planning, as the suggested order quantity for production orders, and in the cost roll process to allocate fixed costs.
Manufacturing Lead Time

The fixed manufacturing lead time, which the system uses during inventory planning if the Use Fixed Manufacturing Times check box is selected on the Inventory Planning Preferences (AM100000) form. This lead time is used as follows, based on whether the Use Fixed Manufacturing Times check box is selected on the Production Preferences (AM102000) form:

  • If this check box is selected, the lead time is used for all production orders
  • If this check box is cleared, the lead time is used for only production orders for which the Use Fixed Mfg Lead Times for Order Dates check box is selected on the Production Order Maintenance (AM201500) form.

For more information, see Inventory Planning Configuration: Lead Times.

Days of Supply

The number of days that the system uses for the consolidation of demand documents containing the item during inventory planning. When the number of days is more than zero, the system groups into a single planned order all items with this ID from all demand documents (such as sales orders) with the requested date within the specified number of days starting from the current date.

Tip: Demand documents are documents that generate demand for items and cause items to be issued from one of the company's warehouses. The demand document may be a sales order, a forecast, or a production order for materials included in an item to be produced.

The default value in this box is copied from the Days of Supply box on the Item Classes (IN201000) form of the item class assigned to the item. If the value of the box for the item class is changed and the value of the box for the item has not been overridden, the system updates the value of the box with the value copied from the item class.

This box is displayed only if the Material Requirements Planning feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

A check box that you select to override the default value of the Days of Supply box.

This check box is displayed only when the Material Requirements Planning feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Deferral Tab

You use the Deferral tab to specify how deferrals should be performed for this stock item when it is sold or purchased. If no deferral code is assigned to the item on this tab, no deferrals will be performed, and the revenue or expense will be recognized immediately. If a code is assigned to the item, revenue from its sales will be recognized according to the settings specified for the deferral code.

If this stock item is a package—that is, if a deferral code with the Multiple-Deliverable Arrangement deferral code selected on the Deferral Codes (DR202000) form, as described in Managing Recognition for Packages—you should also add the required components to this package (other stock items or non-stock items) and define how the total package price should be allocated among the components. For each component, you should assign an individual deferral code, which will define how the price of the component will be deferred; otherwise, the item price will be recognized immediately. You can use different recognition methods to comply with the revenue recognition regulations of your country.

Table 28. Deferred Revenue Tab Elements
Element Description
Deferral Code

The deferral code assigned to this stock item. The code specifies how the revenue from the sale of this item will be recognized. Deferral codes are defined on the Deferral Codes (DR202000) form.

Otherwise, the sales subaccount will be taken from the original invoice.
Total Percentage The total percentage of the item price, as split among the components. This value is calculated automatically as the sum of the percentages you assign to the components if the item is sold as a package and consists of components. When the item is not a package, the total percentage is set to 100.
Table 29. Revenue Components Table
In this table, you can add detailed information about the components to be used for deferrals. For each component, you should assign a specific deferral code and specify the allocation method (which defines how the component price will be computed). For more information, see Managing Recognition for Packages.

  • Residual: This allocation method can be selected for one of the revenue components of an item with the MDA deferral code. If a document contains a single revenue component with this allocation method, the residual amount will be calculated as the document amount without taxes minus the revenue of non-residual components. If a document contains multiple revenue components with this allocation method, the calculated residual amount will be distributed among the residual components based on their allocation weights.
Fixed Amount

The fixed amount of the item price assigned to the component if the Fixed Amount option is selected in the Allocation Method column.
