Change Base Unit of Measure on Purchase Items

Administrator Guide

Set up multiple units of measure (UOM).

Set up your purchase items.

Configure the Inventory Change Base UOM Request
business process and security policy in the Inventory functional area.

You can use Workday to change the base UOM for any purchase item that you’ve set up. You can inactivate the original base UOM and convert all of your on-hand inventory of that purchase item to the new UOM.

Access the

Change Base Unit of Measure

task.

As you complete the task, consider:

Option	Description
Inactive Source Base UOM	Select this option to render that UOM inactive for that purchase item. You can't reapply that UOM as the base UOM once you change it.
Convert Source Base UOM On Hand Inventory to Target Base UOM	Select this option to convert any on hand inventory of that purchase item to the new base UOM.

Workday changes the UOM of your selected purchase items. Workday doesn't change the UOMs for items on any open inventory transactions.
