ITEM UNIT OF MEASURE CONVERSION (UMC)

Item Unit of Measure Conversion Line Layout

The Item Unit of Measure Conversion (ITEM_UM_CONV) table stores the unit of measure conversion rates for parts.

The application cannot process ITEM_U/M Conversion Line Types unless the Item exists.  This Line Type will not be processed if the item type is a Service (S) or Good (G), as goods and services do not have U/M rows populated.  You can process multiple lines per item. The Item ID, Item Revision ID, U/M From, and U/M To combination must be unique for each U/M conversion.

Once you have established unit of measure information in the Units of Measure table in the Product Definition Controls menu, you can view or update the information stored in the Item U/M Conversion table in the Units of Measure Conversion subtask of the Basic Part Data screen in Costpoint Product Definition.

The application uses default values from Costpoint (for existing parts) only if the input file field value is not provided.
