Selling in Different UOM
Introduction
A sell price unit of measure (UOM) is the UOM with which you price items. You can have multiple sell price UOMs for any inventory item. However, when a customer places, UOM for an item could change.
For example an Item Pen is stocked in Nos, but sold in Box. Hence we will make a Sales Order for Pen in Box.
Step 1: In the Item master, under the Unit of Measure section, you can list all the possible UOM of an item, with its UOM Conversion Factor. Update UOM Conversion Factors In one Box, if you get 10 Nos. of Pen, UOM Conversion Factor would be 10.
Step 2: In the Sale Order, you will find two UOM fields: UOM and Stock UOM
In both the fields, the default UOM of an item will be fetched by default. You should edit the UOM field, and select Sale UOM (Box in this case). Updating Sales UOM is mainly for the reference of the Customer. In the print format, you will see item quantity in the Sales UOM.
Based on the Qty and Conversion Factor, qty will be calculated in the Stock UOM of an item. If you sell just one Box, then Qty as per stock UOM will be set as 10.
Stock Ledger Posting
Irrespective of the Sales UOM selected in the Sale Order, stock ledger posting will be done in the Default UOM of an item. Hence you should ensure that the conversion factor is entered correctly while selling items in different UOM.
Set Conversion Factor in Item Master
In the Item Master, under the Sales Section, you can set the default Sales UOM.
