Unit of Measure Conversion - Microsoft Dynamics NAV LS Retail 2017

Unit of Measure Conversion - Microsoft Dynamics NAV LS Retail 

Today we would discuss the simple concept in Navision, Unit of Measure and their conversion. This is the basic topic but still many struggles to set this basic right in the system. We would discuss how in Navision Unit of measure can be set and the associated conversion factor too.

1. Open Retail Item card in Navision

2. Create New Item and Let us Name in it Coke 330 ML Pack and Put the other details as Division, item category, and Posting Groups

3. Set the Base Unit of Measure as Box ( Base UOM:- All item ledger entries are maintained in the Base UOM)

Now we need to mention the Conversion factor for UOM. Let us consider a scenario where a company sells Coke 330ML single bottle as well as the pack of 6. As we have already set the Base unit of measure as Box but in order to sell the item as single bottle we need to mention conversion factor for the box to Bottle. To mention conversion factor of Box to Bottle. Let us follow the below steps.

1. Go to Navigate

2. Click on Unit of Measure as shown in below Image

3. After clicking on Units of Measure then the system will open Item unit of measure. 

When we sell the item with Bottle as unit of measure, then the system will do the conversion at backhand to post quantities based on Box in ILE. For Example, if we sell 6 bottles of Coke then in Item Ledger Entries system will post 1 quantity as BOX because our base Unit of measure in item card is mentioned as Box.
