Multiple UOMs act as a factor that will be adjusted in the production order based on demand, following a preset formula with compatible UOM.

Because Raw materials with multiple UOMs are treated as products in EMERGE, so you must create them as products.

  • Base UOM should be the smallest unit

  • Click on "+ Add New" to add additional UOM

  • Click on " X " to delete UOM

When creating a new product, you can select the appropriate UOM for each material in the Raw Material options to determine the product's manufacturing formula.

This product when included in a Sales Order, will then be produced through a Production Order. Look up: Issue a Production Order from Sales Order.

In the Production Order window, you can select the suitable UOM for the raw materials, and the quantity will automatically adjust based on the selected UOM.

  • UOM: cup -> qty: 25

  • UOM: bottle -> qty: 5

  • UOM: box -> qty: 2.5
