Overview

Increff WMS supports the functionality of UOM(It describes the relationship of eaches to boxes, boxes to cases, cases to pallets, and so on). With this feature we have added the support to define UOM definitions, GRN on UOM SKUs, allocation logic for UOM SKUs and bulk break feature for UOM SKUs.

Terminology

1. Eaches - this demotes the base SKU. UOMs for this product will be formed from this base SKU. For example a munch is the eaches SKU and a box of much is a UOM.
2. BulkBreak - The process of breaking the UOM SKU into the next breakable SKU. This can be done to replenish child SKUs to ensure picking optimisation or to fulfil a pending order with the child SKU.

Constraints

<aside> ⚠️

• A Virtual SKU cannot be marked as UOM and vice-versa.
• The maximum allowed value for nextBreakableSkuQty is 200, i.e a maximum 200 units of the next breakable SKU can be present in a UOM unit.
• UOM SKUs will not be supported in kitting workflow.
• Perishable UOMs cannot be defined with Non-Perishable each SKU and vice-versa.
• UOM and NextBreakableSKU cannot be uploaded in single UOM definition creation CSV.
• Once the UOM definition is uploaded, it cannot be modified again. </aside>

Workflow

Article Master Flow In OMS

There are two parts to create UOM definitions:

1. Defining the article master for all UOM SKUs and the Eaches SKU.
2. UOM definition for every UOM SKU.

Steps to create UOM article master

Following are the steps to create UOM article master:

• Go to Products screen in Product Settings category.
• Go to New tab and select the client.
• Upload the csv with article master data as per the template.
• Two new fields have been added in the csv:
  • isUOM - valid input is true or false. It should be true for all UOM SKUs
  • bulkBreakThreshold - this defines the minimum quantity of the SKU that should be available for active pick.
  • barcode - this field denotes the scannable Id on the handling UOM unit.
