How to manage uom conversion
Hi guys.
I've been testing oum conversion funcionality.
1) I created a product P with quantityUomId = WT_g
2) I asociated P to a supplier S with quantityUomId = WT_kg
3) I created a purchase order
Supplier = S
Product = P
Quantity = 1
4) I approved and receipted the PO.
So, the item inventory generated has:
QOH = 1
ATP = 1
But, I thought that OFbiz convert 1 to 1000 when I receipted it. (table
CONVERSION_UOM)
QOH = 1000
ATP = 1000
I've seen that the table INVENTORY_ITEM not save the uom value in the field
UOM_ID but I not have seen where ofbiz save the oum in purchase order.
Finally,
Somebody knows how to manage uom conversions?.
Do I have to configure something?
Help me please?
Than you.

Than you David.
I've tested to create a product called "Sand Bag".
1) The product has quantityIncluded=50 and quantityUomId=WT_kg.
2) Then I created a PO (productId="SanBag" and quantity=1 ) and I saw that
its OrderLine shows 50 Kg only as a info.
3) I received the PO and Ofbiz created a InventoyItem with qoh=1 and atp=1.
I hope Ofbiz created a InventoryItem with qoh=50 and atp=50. This means that
Is this only for informative purposes? (step 2). Doesn't Ofbiz really to
convert uom in inventory item? (step 3).
Thank you again.

Re: How to manage uom conversion
Posted by David E Jones <de...@me.com>.
A sand bag really should have a unit of "each" since that basically means there is no unit of measure.
For example if the sand bad contains 50 kg of sand then your product should have quantityIncluded=50 and quantityUomId=WT_kg.
With those settings you'll know how much sand is in the bag.
As for whether or not you'll have to customize OFBiz, that depends on the business process and how you want things to work (ie a lot more detail would be needed, plus testing/analysis time, in order to say).

Re: How to manage uom conversion
Posted by Juan Pablo <ju...@gmail.com>.
Hi.
As David said I've created an articucle per unit of measure to work with
different product presentations but I would like work with two kinds of uom.
As I said uom of purchase and uom of inventory per product. Is it posible
with ofbiz 9.04 ? or is it necessary a customization to work with uom
conversions?
A case: My supplier sales a product called "sand bag", its purchase uom is
"each" (units, I think so). Then I should store it in "kg" in my warehouse
because my company manage it in kg to production process or sales process or
physicall inventory process.
My supplier only sales it in units ("each" in ofbiz) so I need "the system"
converts uom of purchase to uom of inventory.
I can to configure it in Ofbiz or I have to customize Ofbiz??
Please, helpme.
PD: I'm sorry to my bad english. I'm studying in a English Class recently. I
promise to improve my English soon.

Trank you guys.
David, So, this means that Ofbiz 9.04 doesn't support uom conversions and
that all inventory transactions are make in units. Am I right?.
Abhai, I tested the functionality that you say but It doesn't work.
I point to configure uom conversion from PO to Receipts with different unit
of measure. In other word to configure uom of purchase and uom of inventory
and their conversions.
Thak you again.

RE: How to manage uom conversion
Posted by Abhai Chaudhary <Ab...@mindtree.com>.
what you are seeing here is expected behavior.
You have defined "supplier.quantityUomId = Wt_kg" this means your supplier does not supply this product less than defined "quantityUomId"
When you created a PO for this supplier, you agreed to this UOM and quantity 1 (in KG) supplied by your supplier.
When you received this PO supplier UOM is converted into you warehouse UOM which is WT_gm and hence Ofbiz correctly converted the APT and QOH according to yr settings which is 1000.

It sounds like you're not going in the right direction with inventory units. To be honest, I'm not sure where the uomId on the InventoryItem came from or what it's meant for (would have to look at the code to see if it is used anywhere or if it is just something someone added before thinking things through and then never removed it... of course it is a bad idea to name a field "uomId" because it doesn't say which other field the Uom is supposed to be describing, and therefore requires research to figure out what the heck it is).
In any case, the unit for an InventoryItem is based on the Product.quantityIncluded and Product.quantityUomId for the Product pointed to by the InventoryItem.productId value. In other words, if you have a product that represents 10 pounds using those two fields then every quantity in the InventoryItem would be in terms of 10 pound units (ie a quantity of .5 would mean 5 pounds of the thing).
If you want to treat things differently you have two options:
1. convert units on the fly in the UI only (and use the configured units for the Product in the DB)
2. have multiple product records that represent different units of the same thing

It sounds like you're not going in the right direction with inventory units. To be honest, I'm not sure where the uomId on the InventoryItem came from or what it's meant for (would have to look at the code to see if it is used anywhere or if it is just something someone added before thinking things through and then never removed it... of course it is a bad idea to name a field "uomId" because it doesn't say which other field the Uom is supposed to be describing, and therefore requires research to figure out what the heck it is).
In any case, the unit for an InventoryItem is based on the Product.quantityIncluded and Product.quantityUomId for the Product pointed to by the InventoryItem.productId value. In other words, if you have a product that represents 10 pounds using those two fields then every quantity in the InventoryItem would be in terms of 10 pound units (ie a quantity of .5 would mean 5 pounds of the thing).
If you want to treat things differently you have two options:
1. convert units on the fly in the UI only (and use the configured units for the Product in the DB)
2. have multiple product records that represent different units of the same thing
