Changing IUM in Epicor 9.05.607b

The easiest way is to inactive the part with the bad UOM and create a new one, but we have smart part #s so that isn't an option for us. We were given some other workarounds from Epicor - we're also on 607b:

Option #1
1. delete the transaction (e.g. PO Line with the part, picked part)
2. fix the conversion on the part
3. recreate the transaction (e.g. add PO line back on)

Option #2
Use instructions in 34028MPS to move class types - didn't work for us

Option #3
There is an override option that isn't shown on the screen, have to customize the form to put it in list view. This might become a part specific UOM then. I can't find the specific field in the database for this and don't remember where we used it. Technical help on the field: "External field used to enable/disable the conversion factor to able to change it."

Our buyers have also tweaked the UOM conversions/factor directions in the supplier price list to get around this for purchase parts but I'm not a fan of that.

I'm hearing you can change UOMs in 701 - just getting started on the conversion so won't be testing that for a while yet.

Does anyone know how or if you can change the IUM in the Part Maintenance on an existing part? We have a part with an IUM of EA that we need to change to ST but the field appears to be locked. The part is not used on any BOMs and there is no demand for the part (PO, WO, SO) any help would be appreciated, thanks.

On your patch...you cannot change it all. Once greyed out it is set in stone. You can always change the part number and then put in the right unit of measure.

Supposedly they are working on a future patch to allow you to change the unit of measure.
