Self Service Procurement

Dual Units of Measure

Set up your Oracle Cloud applications so you can order, price, receive, pick, pack, and ship an item that you enable with primary and secondary UOM tracking. You might need to order, transfer, outsource, or buy an item in a unit of measure that's different from the unit of measure that you use to price, invoice, and cost it.

For example, you might stock and sell meat in cases, but price it in pounds. Each case of meat has a different price because the total weight in pounds varies from one case to the next, but you need to give your buyers an estimated price for each case.

You can use the dual UOM solution to meet this requirement. It's an end-to-end, integrated solution that works across the Oracle Cloud applications and helps you:

• Simultaneously track an item in the primary UOM and secondary UOM throughout your order-to-cash process and procure-to-pay processes.
• Capture the actual weight of the item that you sell, transfer, or purchase, so you can accurately price, invoice, and cost the item.
• Provide a price estimate at the time of sale or purchase and maximize value according to the exact weight that you ship or receive.

Here are the Oracle Procurement Cloud enhancements to the dual UOM solution that are available in this update:

• Request Items That Are Priced in Their Secondary UOM from External Applications
• Purchase Items That Are Priced in Their Secondary UOM
• Create and Fulfill Sales Orders in Dual Units of Measure for Your Back-To-Back Flows
• Create and Fulfill Sales Orders in Dual Units of Measure in Your Drop Ship Flows
• Create Invoice for Items Ordered and Priced in Different Units of Measure

Request Items That Are Priced in Their Secondary UOM from External Applications

For items with dual UOMs, use requisition import to create an externally managed requisition in a UOM that matches how the item is packed and shipped, and is invoiced in the item's secondary UOM based on the actual weight of the units received.

Purchase Items That Are Priced in Their Secondary UOM

For items with dual UOMs, create a purchase order in a UOM that matches how the item is packed and shipped and get invoiced for it based on the actual weight of the units received as per the secondary UOM of the item.

Create and Fulfill Sales Orders in Dual Units of Measure for Your Back-to-Back Flows

Create a sales order in the item's primary unit of measure or in another unit of measure that's in the primary UOM class, then use the standard conversion or item conversion to automatically calculate quantity in the secondary UOM. Price the order line in the primary UOM or the secondary UOM. Use an automated flow to update the order line and invoice it according to the quantity or the secondary quantity that you ship. Use this feature to help you create the purchase order, transfer order, or work order when you use dual units of measure to fulfill demand in your back-to-back flow.

Create and Fulfill Sales Orders in Dual Units of Measure in Your Drop Ship Flows

Create a sales order in the item's primary unit of measure (UOM), then use the item's secondary quantity during fulfillment in your drop ship flow.

Create Invoice for Items Ordered and Priced in Different Units of Measure

Create purchase order matched invoices for items with dual unit of measure (UOM). Dual UOM items can be ordered in the UOM used for packing and shipping. They are invoiced based on the actual weight of the items received in the item's secondary UOM.
