Oracle Financials Cloud: Accounts Receivable 2017 Implementation Essentials — Question 24

A buyer often orders an item BA82829 by box but the store manager stocks the item as individual units by using the Each unit of measure. Item BA82829 can be ordered from three suppliers and the box sizes differ by supplier (12, 24 and 36). Identify the correct option to set up these units of measure in Product Hub (PIM).

Answer options

• A. Create multiple BoxY UOMs, where Y is the quantity per box, and an Each UOM, and assign them to different UOM classes.
• B. Create multiple BoxY UOMs, where Y is the quantity per box, and an Each UOM, and assign them to the same UOM class.
• C. Create a Box UOM and an Each UOM and assign them to different UOM classes.
• D. Always use the Each UOM and do not create Purchase Orders for Box.
• E. Create a Box UOM and an Each UOM and assign both to the same UOM class.

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E because assigning both the Box UOM and Each UOM to the same UOM class allows for flexibility in ordering while maintaining clarity in inventory management. Options A and C incorrectly assign the UOMs to different classes, which would complicate the ordering process. Option B might seem reasonable, but it does not emphasize the need for clarity in the same class. Option D is ineffective as it disregards the box purchasing option altogether.
