Infor LN & Baan Tip: What conditions must exist before changing an item's inventory unit?

Is there a procedure for changing an item’s inventory unit? What conditions must exist before it can be done?

Once inventory transactions (receipts or issues) have occurred for an item, the inventory unit cannot be changed. If only orders have been placed against the item (sales or purchase), the inventory unit can be changed if these orders are removed and the economic stock of the item is zero.

The reason that the inventory unit cannot be changed once transactions have been made is due to how transactions are recorded. The inventory transactions are recorded in units. These units are the inventory unit of the item. The inventory unit is not held in this table, however. The inventory unit is held on the item data. For example, if 5 pieces (pcs) of an item are issued and the inventory unit is later changed to pounds (lbs), there will be a mismatch in the inventory history of the item. In the past, the item was issued as pcs, and now the item master inventory unit is lbs. As the inventory unit is not date effective, the inventory has then been issued in two different units (pcs and lbs), but there is no method to recognize this difference.

Previously, if a user performed a partial search for an item by using a double byte language, no matches were found. Regardless of whether the MLS module is used, this enhancement allows a user to use a double byte language to perform partial or full item description searches. This enhancement resolves an issue with partial searches on screens where the Item Master Lookup (WINIIM) screen is used, such as Material Status Inquiry, INV300D-01, Item Master Selection INV100D1-01, Facility Planning Selection, MRP140D1-01, and Purchasing Inquiry, PUR300D1).

The user selects the F4 prompt from these screens to open the Item Description List. In the prompt window, the user specifies option 10 to perform a partial or full search on an item description.

This enhancement allows users who currently perform outside operation processing in shop floor programs to manage the transfer of components used in the outside operations to the vendor’s designated warehouse.

This enhancement provides modified and new INV511D screens and adds new logic to allow the user to identify all shop orders that have components linked to outside operations or to identify all the components linked to an outside operation on a shop order. The shop orders can be filtered by either a date range or by a specific vendor.

Inventory Transfers for Outside Operations enhances the management of external operations by providing screens that simplify the selection of the shop orders or items to transfer to a vendor.

Transfers to the vendor warehouse are performed in the Inventory Transfers, INV511D, screens.
