The material transactions are recorded, tracked and reported with more than one unit type. A Unit Set is defined for each Material when the Materials are recorded.
As many unit information as requested can be recorded in the unit sets, and be used in transactions. As many other units other than the Main Unit as requested are defined, and the quantity and main unit conversions of these units are specified in the material as Unit Conversion Factor.
When units are converted, the quantities are transferred into the Material Status Info windows as Main Unit. The reports can be generated using the requested unit. The quantities are calculated in the reports using the unit Conversion Factor. However, the Unit Conversion Rate specified in the material may not be applied to certain material lines. In this case, after specifying the unit in the material line of the slips and invoices, the conversion factor to be applied only to that transaction is entered using the Unit Conversion option. If more than one unit is defined for the material, and if the line transaction is performed with units other than the main unit, the Conversion Factor is specified in the Conversion Factors section of the Unit Conversion window. The Unit Conversion window also displays the dimension information applied to the material.
