How to Add an Alternate Unit in ManufApp
Alternate Units allow you to define multiple units of measurement for an item (e.g., pieces, tons, or transactional units). This is especially useful for converting between purchase, production, and inventory units.
Step 1: Go to Items Master
Navigate to:
Masters > Items
Step 2: Search and Select the Item
Search for the item you want to configure.
📌 Example: ITEM00018
Click on the item name to open its detail view.
Step 3: Open the Alt Unit Tab
In the item details page, click on the Alt Unit tab to access unit configuration settings.
Step 4: Define Units
You’ll see two sections:
Purchase/Base Unit – Unit used during purchasing
Production Unit – Unit used during manufacturing
For each, select:
The Unit (e.g., piece, TU)
The Conversion Ratio (e.g., 1 TU = 10 pieces)
Add multiple combinations if needed.
Step 5: Click Submit
Once your units and conversion ratios are configured, click Submit to save.
🏁 That’s It!
Alternate Units are now set for the item. This ensures smoother procurement, accurate stockkeeping, and proper production conversions across your workflows.
