Convert and Move Inventory Units of Measure

Convert and Move Inventory Units of Measure

Configure the
Inventory Move Event
 business process and security policy in the Inventory functional area.
When there’s sufficient quantity on hand to fulfill a stock request, but the requested unit of measure isn’t available, you can change units of measure into the unit of measure needed for the stock request.
  1. Access the
    Convert/Move Inventory Units of Measure
     task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Default To Location
    Select if the
    To Location
     is the same for all items.
    To Quantity
    Workday automatically calculates the quantity and only supports whole number conversions.
Workday generates accounting only when you move goods to a location with different worktags. When you convert on hand quantities from 1 stocking unit of measure to another, there’s no accounting effect as the average cost is still the same.
You can view:
  • The transaction in the
    Find Inventory Transaction
     report.
  • The result of the task in the
    Find Inventory Balance
     report.
