Seeking Guidance on Unit of Measure Configuration for Complex Steel Factory WMS
Summary:
Our client operates with multiple child companies and facilitiess, each item within their inventory capable of being handled in six distinct units, including Ton (MTN), Piece (PC)
, Cubic Meter (M2), Linear Meter (ML), Unit (UND), and Kilogram (KG). Compounding this complexity, each item is associated with specific conversion factors between the primary unit (Ton) and the other units.
Challenges:
Multiplicity of Units: Items can be received, shipped, and moved within the warehouse using any of the six units of measurement, posing a challenge for standardized inventory management.
Diverse Conversion Factors: Each item possesses its unique set of conversion factors between the primary unit (Ton) and the other units, complicating efforts for uniformity.
