    Item Master Stocking UOM: GALLONS 
    Purchase UOM: EACH(Drum) 

    Each to Gallons(Stocking UOM) Conversion:
    (1 Each(Drum) = 20 gallons)

    From Unit of Measure: Each 
    Conversion Factor: 20 

    1 x 20= 20 Gallons 






    Example 2: PBOWL01

    Item Master Stocking UOM: EACH 
    Purchase UOM: CASE 

    Case to Eaches(Stocking UOM) Conversion:
    (1 Case = 500 eaches(Bowls))

    From Unit of Measure: Case 
    Conversion Factor: 500 

    1 x 500 = 500 Eaches 






    Purchasing Using UOM Conversions:

    Once a uom conversion has been established, items can then be purchased using that newly associated unit of measure, or the stocking unit of measure.  However, items will be automatically stocked based off of the Item Master's Stocking UOM, regardless of purchase UOM.

    Example:Purchase 5 cases of plastic bowls (500 bowls per case)
    2500 bowls will be stored in inventory
