My company has the same problem. In Vantage 8.03 we use CS and PK for any number of warehouse supplies, but we have the Per Container field in 8.03. In E9.05 we plan to use new UOM ids such as CS6, CS12, etc. The big problem is getting existing item master data converted to the new format.
It seems as though V8.03 to E9 conversion admin tools (step 9,800 in the Run Conversion Program option)allows for creating new E9 UOMs during schema PassThru. Our preliminary plan is to develop new Classes and UOMs and apply the UOMs in E8.03 then create the new Classes and UOMs in E9 during schema PassThru and let the data conversion proceed as normal.
Has anyone else considered this option? Does anyone know of any issues with this process?
Best Regards,
Gibson
