Sizing Type
Enter the code for the sizing type. Valid sizing types are as follows:
|
Blank
|
This sizing type is used for basic UMs to be applied to individual items or pieces. The blank sizing type indicates either that this unit is the base UM for the item, or that a conversion factor must be applied to convert to the base UM.
|
|
R (Reference)
|
This sizing type is used for UMs that are counted as a single quantity, regardless of the actual number of items contained.

Print ID
This field controls the printing of ID labels for inventory measured in this UM. This is the main level of printing control. However, it is not mandatory to define an alternate unit of measure. If no alternate UM is defined, the printing control comes from the item-warehouse definition. See
Item-Site Maintenance.
Example: If an alternate UM is defined for pallets with the Print ID field set to Yes and an item is received on a pallet, an ID label is printed. However, if the same item is received as a number of eaches, and no alternate UM is defined for EA, whether the ID is printed is determined from the item-warehouse.
ID Quantity
This field controls the quantity of ID labels to be printed.
Allow Split
Enter Yes if this unit of measure can be split into smaller units; otherwise, enter No. You can override the Allow Split setting for a selected storage location group using Storage Location Group Maintenance.
Item Number
This field is used when the unit of measure is also an item; for example, a pallet. Enter the item number for the unit. Leave this field blank for UMs that are not also items.
Ship Type
If the alternate UM is also an item, you can track the item in inventory.
Example: An item number is defined for pallets. This item is entered as the alternate UM’s item number. Ship type determines if the item is to be considered as actual inventory or just as a memo item.
Leave the Ship Type field blank to maintain inventory levels for the item. When you enter a non-blank value—the convention is M for Memo—standard inventory transactions are created to show the movement of the item, but no on-hand or other inventory details are maintained.
Round Inspection Qty
Indicate if you want the quantity that must be inspected to be rounded to a whole unit. Use this field when you are sampling by percentage by setting the Sample % field to a value for the item. This can result in a decimal value. If your units are boxes, for example, you probably do not want to sample a percent of a box, but rather round up to a complete box. See
Quality Inspection Parameters.
