Expand/Collapse Toggles

The SAP Business One  window called "units of measure" is opened.

Here you can define all UoM Codes. For more information see SAP documentation.
NOTE: UoM Code and UoM Name must always be identical.

Consequently, it is only possible to modify an existing UoM by deleting it first, and creating a new Code and Name!

 

See Concept of UoM

 

If Beas is started without SAP Business One, the Beas – window units of measure opens.

Administration of units of measure in Beas and SAP Business One uses the same data; it is always synchronized.

In the Beas – screen additional information can be stored. Accessible: in SAP Business One – window use right-click > extended.

hmtoggle_plus1The following units of measure are available in Beas:

Type

Description

Inventory UoM

For storing goods and counting at inventory and display in inventory history

(Field OITM.InvNtryUom)

Production UoM

Every quantity in Bill of materials and work order position is stored in production unit.

Conversion between production unit and inventory unit is defined in the Conversion.

Note: In BoM you can define a separate Input Unit.

In this case the system calculates the production unit from input unit and the inventory unit from production unit

(Field OITM.U_me_verbr)

 

Sales UoM

Used for offers, customer orders, delivery note, invoice and all other documents in area Sales.

(Field OITM.SalUnitMsr)

Purchasing UoM

Used for purchases, delivery, purchase invoices.

(Field OITM.BuyUnitMsr)

Inventory Counting UoM

Unit for stock counting. Currently not supported by Beas.

(Field OITM.CntUnitMsr)

Input UoM

In the Bill of materials window you can define an own UoM.

From  this Unit the system calculates the production UoM and from this the inventory UoM.

 

 

The warehouse unit is always used for postings. If a posting is done through Beas, you have the option to enter the quantity in consumption units or in warehouse units.

 

hmtoggle_plus1Extended functions in SAP Business One environment.

 

Restrictions:

SAP Business One allows a subsequent change of the unit ID and description. In the item the description is saved, not the ID. Because Beas connects the ID with additional information, for example with rounding function, the ID and description need to match in SAP Business One.

In SAP Business One it is also possible to change existing unit ID. For example, "kg" can be changed to "ton". All existing items originally stored in "kg" are then stored in "tons". Inventory would change from 10 kg to 10 tons.

 

This is why there are restrictions in Beas:

Description and ID of the unit must be the same. IDs may not be changed subsequently.

 

Available extended functions

 

Extended: calls the extended features of Beas. See Edit units of measure.

Conversion: conversion formulas between warehouse unit and consumption unit. See conversion.
