Some trading partners insist on using non-standard UoM codes — ACME orders a “BOX of milk” but the supplier EEA records that as a “CARTON”. Rather than forcing the partners to agree, you can map their UoM to your UoM here. When an inbound document arrives or an outbound one is built, the connector swaps the UoMs based on these mappings.
Each row applies for a specific vendor or customer + seller’s item identification combination.
Columns
| Column | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Type | Whether this mapping applies to a Vendor or a Customer |
| Vendor/Customer No. | The vendor or customer (depending on Type) the mapping applies to. Leave blank for a default mapping. |
| Item Identification | The supplier’s own item code. Mapping applies only to lines for this item identifier |
| Unit of Measure to Convert From | The UoM as it appears on the trading partner’s document |
| Unit of Measure to Convert To | The BC UoM that should be used instead |
Enabling the mapping
For sales documents to use the mapping, turn on Use UoM Mapping on Sales & Receivables Setup → Centara Sales Orders. For inbound documents, the mapping is consulted automatically when Use UoM from ItemRef isn’t already producing a match.
