UOM Split/Merge
Use Split Merge UOM to split an inventory quantity expressed in a specific unit of measure (UOM) into one or more alternate units. You can also use this program to merge inventory quantities expressed in several alternate UOMs into a single UOM quantity. It can only be used for parts for which the Track Multiple UOMs check box is selected in Part Maintenance.
For example, for a Split UOM transaction, 100 units on a pallet be broken into one bag (two base units), one box (four base units), or nine cases (10 base units each or 90 total).
Conversely, if your inventory is stored in bags and boxes, you can use the Merge option to merge them into a single pallet of 100 base units.
When you save the transaction, the Epicor application uses the conversion factors defined in UOM Class Maintenance to determine if the quantities selected for merging or splitting add up to the resulting UOM merge or split quantity. Entering split or merge transactions has the net effect of zero on the total physical on-hand inventory quantity for the part. The program updates two or more on-hand tracking part records and creates STK-ADJ PartTran records to reflect the changes.
