Ordering Units The unit of measure (UOM) to use when ordering this item. Although an item can be stocked and issued in one unit of measure, the supplier might require that an order be placed using a different unit of measure. For example, let’s say that each item is stocked on the shelves individually, but the supplier only sells the item in boxes of 12 units. In this case, the ordering UOM is “box” and the stocking UOM is “each”. See Also Example Catalog Quantity The number that APM uses to convert between an ordering unit of measure (UOM) and the catalog UOM. If the units of measure are from the non-convertible UOM category, you can enter a conversion factor here. For example, if your pricing UOM is “each” and the ordering UOM is “boxes”, enter how many “eaches” are in a “box”. If the units of measure are from a standard UOM category (e.g. Length, Weight), you will not be able to change the conversion factor. It will be automatically calculated by APM. See Also Unit of Measure The stocking unit of measure used for this item. It is possible to stock, purchase, and issue the item in different units of measure. All inventory balances are expressed in the stocking unit of measure. You can select one of many different units of measure, such as centimeters, inches, each, or case. See Also Example Order to Catalog Conversion If the ordering unit of measure (UOM) is different than the catalog UOM, this is the number APM uses to convert an ordering quantity to the catalog quantity. If the units of measure are from the non-convertible UOM category, you can enter a conversion factor here. For example, if your pricing UOM is “each” and the ordering UOM is “boxes”, enter how many “eaches” are in a “box”. If the units of measure are from a standard UOM category (for example, Length or Weight), you cannot change the conversion factor. It is automatically calculated by APM. See Also Example Order to Price Conversion If the ordering unit of measure (UOM) is different than the pricing UOM, this is the number APM uses to convert an ordering quantity to a pricing quantity. If the units of measure are from the non-convertible UOM category, you can enter a conversion factor here. For example, if your pricing UOM is “each” and the ordering UOM is “boxes”, enter how many “eaches” are in a “box”. If the units of measure are from a standard UOM category (for example, Length or Weight), you cannot change the conversion factor. It is automatically calculated by APM. See Also Example Price Quantity The number that APM uses to convert between the pricing unit of measure (UOM) and the ordering UOM. If the units of measure are from the non-convertible UOM category, you can enter a conversion factor here. For example, if your pricing UOM is “each” and the ordering UOM is “boxes”, enter how many “eaches” are in a “box”. If the units of measure are from a standard UOM category (for example, Length or Weight), you cannot change the conversion factor. It will is automatically calculated by APM. See Also Pricing Units The units of measure (UOM) used when pricing an order. An item can be ordered in a particular unit of measure (UOM) and priced using an alternate UOM. For example, you might order a resource by the dozen, but the supplier might price them individually (that is, “each”). See Also
