Alternate Unit Mapping in Dispatch Scheduling
1. Overview
The new Alternate Unit Mapping feature in ManufApp provides dual unit of measurement (UOM) visibility — such as pieces, kg, dozen — across multiple modules.
This ensures consistent, accurate tracking of quantities for procurement, production, subcontracting, and dispatch.
No more manual conversions or cross-checking between departments — the system now shows both primary and alternate UOMs side-by-side.
Availability: Enabled company-wide; visible wherever relevant UOM data is displayed.
2. Problem Statement
Before this release, users faced challenges due to:
Lack of consistent alternate UOM visibility in key modules like Sales Orders, MRP, Subcontracting, Receipt Schedule, and Dispatch Schedule.
Manual conversions leading to errors and mismatches in tracking requested, dispatched, received, and remaining quantities.
Delays in production planning and inventory reconciliation due to missing dual-UOM data.
Misalignment between procurement, production, and dispatch teams when interpreting quantities.
This resulted in slower decisions, higher risk of miscounts, and reduced operational efficiency.
3. What’s New
3.1 Sales Order
Ordered Qty, Booked Qty, To Produce now display both primary & alternate UOMs for each item and at totals.
3.2 Material Resource Planning (MRP)
Gross Demand, Fulfillable from Inventory, To Produce columns now show dual UOMs.
Totals reflect base + alternate units for instant clarity.
3.3 Subcontracting Orders
Item View and Totals updated to display primary & alternate UOMs for issued and received quantities.
3.4 Receipt Schedule
List View, Card View, and Summary View now show dual UOMs for requested, received, and remaining quantities.
3.5 Dispatch Schedule
List View, Card View, and Summary View updated for primary & alternate UOM visibility on requested, dispatched, and remaining quantities.
4. Key Benefits
✅ Eliminates manual conversions — reducing errors and saving time
✅ Consistent visibility across procurement, production, and dispatch modules
✅ Improved planning accuracy with instant access to both UOMs
✅ Better cross-department alignment for smoother operations
