UOMs in Workbench

Question

Hi everyone,

I have searched for documentation and answers about this but have not found anything specific. Hopefully I am not missing anything.

For several of our items, our base unit is in inches, and our other units (stock/purchase) are in feet.

In the planning workbench, we are seeing planned purchase orders for these items generate in inches and ideally, we'd see them generate in feet instead. Is this something we can easily change?

Thanks for any help!

Hi @Nate Elsner,

The ability to switch UoM in a workbench is not yet available in the standard NetSuite account.

This is currently an enhancement request logged on Enhancement #621029 MRP > Planning Workbench > Ability to switch UOM

You can go to SuiteIdeaspage to vote for the enhancement.

Unfortunate, I have not seen any workaround or alternate solution on this as well.

Apologies for the inconvenience this limitation may be causing you, but I hope this helps clarify your concern.
