).
Material Definitions specify which Class the material belongs to and which unit of measure the production values should be recorded in.
They also allow you to specify unit of measure conversion rates specific to that material. For example, the standard unit of measure could be a Pallet but you could then add a conversion that states that a pallet of that material is equivalent to 700 kg.
1. Select the Material tab.
2. Click Material Definitions.
A list of the existing materials is displayed.
3. Click the add icon ().
4. Enter a name.
5. Select a Class from the drop-down list.
6. Select a default Unit of Measure from the drop-down list.
7. Enter a description in each necessary language.
If required, UoMs in different Classes can be related together for each material. For example, for material A a Packet may be equivalent to 100 grams, whereas for material B a Packet may be equivalent to 150 grams.
8. Click the UOM Conversions tab.
9. Click the add icon ().
10. Select a unit of measure to convert from.
11. Enter a numerator and denominator for the conversion factor. For example, if the UoM you're converting from is 10x greater than the material's UoM then the numerator is 10 and the denominator is 1.
12. Enter a conversion offset, if required.
13. Click OK.
You cannot relate UoMs in the same UoM Class as this is already done when defining the UoMs themselves (see here).
The material is added to the list.
