How to: Convert Warehouse Units of Measure

If an item can be defined in more than one unit of measure, you can instruct the program to convert a quantity of that item into a unit measure other than the unit in which it entered the warehouse. This is useful if you need to use a different unit of measure when you assign an item to a warehouse activity.

To convert warehouse units of measure

  1. In the Search box, enter Bin Status, and then choose the related link.
  2. Select a bin content line for an item that is defined in multiple units of measure.
  3. On the Actions tab, in the General group, choose Units. The Convert Warehouse Units window appears.
  4. Select the line with the unit of measure you want to convert.
  5. In the Quantity field, indicate the quantity of the item's current unit of measure you want to convert.
  6. Fill in the New Unit of Measure Code field with the unit to which you want to convert the item.

The anticipated quantity of the item in the new unit of measure is displayed in the New Quantity field.
