As a brand purchasing inventory, you may encounter situations where you order products in one unit of measure (UoM) but store them in your warehouse using a different UoM. Our system now handles these conversions for you, eliminating manual calculations and ensuring accuracy.
Example scenarios:
You order fabric from a European supplier in meters, but your US warehouse reports inventory in yards.
You order swatches in yards, but your warehouse tracks them as individual units.
How it works:
Fixed conversion ratio: A predefined conversion ratio is established between the ordering UoM and the inventory UoM. For example, 1 meter is equivalent to 1.0936 yards.
Automatic conversion: When you create a purchase order (PO) we use the UoM on the Vendor SKU. Settle automatically converts the quantity to the corresponding inventory UoM upon receipt.
Inventory management: Your inventory records will reflect the converted quantity, ensuring consistency and accuracy in stock tracking.
Benefits:
Streamlined process: Eliminates the need for manual UoM conversions, saving time and effort.
Improved accuracy: Reduces errors associated with manual calculations.
Inventory consistency: Ensures that your inventory records accurately reflect the physical stock on hand.
