If the check box is selected, a bin in a non-directed location can contain multiple UOMs.

In order to select the Allow Multi-UOM in Bin Content check box, the Require Pick check box must be selected on the Warehouse Setup window.

The Location Card window also has an Allow Multi-UOM in Bin Content check box on the Warehouse FastTab.

If the Create Stockkeeping Unit function was run from the Item Card window, then this field is populated with the Allow Multi-UOM Bin Content value from the item’s location.

If you attempt to clear this check box, the system will check that all items in the location are in the base UOM. If not, you will need to change the inventory so that all of items are in the base UOM.

By default, the inventory in a non-directed location will register in the base UOM. The logic will check two things:

  1. If a stockkeeping unit exists for the item, the value for the Allow Multi-UOM Bin Content check box is checked on the item’s Stockkeeping Unit Card window.
  1. If a stockkeeping unit does not exist for the item, the value for the Allow Multi-UOM Bin Content check box is checked on the Location Card window for the appropriate location.
    • If the check box is cleared, the item will go into the bin in the base UOM.
    • If the check box is selected, the item will go into the bin using the UOM of the document being posted.
