Advanced UOM module
Advanced Unit of Measure (UOM) helps you track inventory, minimises waste, reduces unnecessary costs, streamline processes, deliver products faster, and provide deep analytics for improved decision-making.
We understand that it’s a business imperative to be able to accurately cost and forecast inventory while quickly and easily locating the right inventory to meet customer and production needs.
Selling items with many dimensional attributes can be complex and make it difficult to implement an ERP solution, with customisation and complex configurations often the only answer. With Kinetic you can cater for a wide array of variations without the need for enormous amounts of part numbers.
The Epicor Kinetic Advanced UOM module offers a transactional dual unit of measure and supports the complex needs of managing inventories dimensionally. It’s used across many sectors but is especially useful in the metals industry where high-value inventory needs to be tracked very closely. Other use cases include textiles, fabricated metals, packaging, furniture, fixtures, etc.
How do you handle your metal off-cuts? Do you have difficulty knowing exactly what is available? Does production struggle to accurately count material, not sure whether to count a piece because it’s no longer a standard size?
For manufacturers and distributors in the metals sectors, Advanced UOM delivers a simplified approach to finding the right inventory by segmenting inventory with attributes such as hardness, strength, modulus of elasticity, or density. Because it is segmented at granular level, it is easily located, physical counts are more meaningful, and the business can plan inventory needs at the attribute level, ensuring accurate supply and demand are met.
Advanced UOM also offers dynamic attributes to help manage conversion between units of measure e.g. pounds or grams to feet, meters, or each. Both the theoretical size (4 meters length) and optional actual size (4.1 meters) can be converted to the accurate weight measures. This is powerful when purchasing and selling in one unit of measure while managing inventory and production in another.
Epicor Kinetic Advanced UOM delivers these transactions in dual units of measure, giving greater visibility and accurate cost throughout with the simplicity of transacting in a number of pieces rather than counting out the weight or metres.
