Dual Unit of Measure

1. One item with two units of measure simultaneously
Ideal when no constant conversion
1. Transact, reserve, view in both units of measure
2. Pricing can be done in either unit of measure
3. Planning and Costing still done using primary UOM
4. Process organizations only

Dual UOM
Control

Lot Expiration (Shelf Life)

Retest Interval
Enter the number of days after the creation date
before you
need to retest the lot. The system adds this number to
the lot creation
date to determine the default retest date.
Lot Creation Date + Retest Interval = Default Lot
Retest Date.
Expiration Action Interval
Enter the number of days the system adds to the
expiration
date before it performs an action on the lot.
Lot Expiration Date + Lot Expiration Action Interval =
Default
Expiration Action Date.

Lot Control
Maturity Days
This is the number of days added to the lot creation
date to determine the lot maturity date. If you do not enter
a number, the system assumes the lot is mature at
creation.
Lot Creation Date + Maturity Days = Default Lot
Maturity Date.
Hold Days
This is the number of days added to the lot creation
date before you can release the lot. If you do not enter a
number, the system assumes that you can use the lot
immediately.
Lot Creation Date + Hold Days = Default Hold Release
Date.

Grade Controlled
Indicate whether the item is grade controlled in addition
to lot controlled. A grade code represents specific
characteristics of a lot. If you select the Grade Controlled
check box, then you must specify a default grade for the
item.
Note: You cannot modify this check box if you have
transacted the item.
Default Grade:
Enter a default grade for the item. All items under
grade control must have a default grade. You can use the
grade change transaction to change the default grade of
an item.
Note: You can change the default grade even if you

Child Generation
This field determines how the system generates child lot
numbers at the item level. You can choose to generate child lot
numbers across the organization level or at the item level. The
available choices are:
Parent + Child: When set to parent + child, the parent lot
number acts as a prefix, and the next available lot number is
added to form the child lot. For example if the parent lot is p1,
then the child lot would be p1-1.
Parent: When set to parent, child lot numbers are based on the

Lot Divisible
Select this check box to enable you to allocate, reserve, or
move partial lot quantities. If you do not select this check
box you must transact the full lot quantity for this item. You
cannot modify this field if transactions exist for the item.

CrossDock
Crossdock allows warehouses to increase its operational
efficiency by transferring inbound material directly to an
outbound area. It bypasses the inventory-holding function
of a warehouse while still allowing it to serve its
consolidation and shipping functions.
