Global pressures to keep costs low and serve customers’ needs on tight margins have challenged manufacturers and distributors to further reduce the cost of carrying inventory without compromising on delivery. Not only does the Advanced Unit of Measure (AUOM) module offer a transactional dual unit of measure, it also supports the complex needs of managing dimensional inventories.

  • Reduce carrying costs with greater visibility of on-hand inventory
  • Improve inventory accuracy by transacting in dual units of measure throughout Kinetic
  • Improved planning of inventories in production activities
  • Better quality tracking at the attribute level

Benefits

Manage by Attributes

The benefit of Epicor Advanced Unit of Measure (AUOM) functionality is that it delivers a simplified approach to finding the right inventory by segmenting inventory attributes such as hardness, strength, modulus of elasticity, or density. Because the inventory is segmented, 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.

Dimensional Measurement Support

Advanced Unit of Measure (AUOM) offers dynamic attributes to help businesses manage conversion between units of measure, for example, 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 accurate weight measures. This is powerful and useful in purchasing and selling in one unit of measure while managing inventory and production in another. AUOM 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 meters.

Capabilities

Cross-Industry Use

Advanced Unit of Measure (AUOM) functionality can be used across many industries, not just metals but especially in metals where high-value inventory needs to be tracked more closely. Additional use cases include textiles, fabricated metals, landscaping (soil or gravel), packaging, furniture and fixtures, footwear, eyewear, sporting goods, and more.

 
Deeply Embedded in ERP

Advanced Unit of Measure (AUOM) offers deep capabilities across the entire ERP system including Quoting, Quantity Adjustments, Cycle Counting, MRP, Purchasing, Receiving, Material Queue, Part Tracker, Inventory Transfer, Material Issue, Job Receipt to Inventory, Salvage Receipt to Inventory, Available to Promise, Engineering, PCID, Order Fulfillment, Epicor Mobile Wireless Warehouse, and Customer Shipment Entry.

 
Attribute Sets

Easily set up and maintain sets of attributes across types of inventory to ease implementation and ongoing management of inventory dimensions. Attribute sets can be automatically or manually assigned to products in Quote Entry, Sales Order Entry, Purchase Order Entry, and Receipt Entry.

 
Replenishment by Attribute

Specify at the bin level replenishment goals for each attribute to help ensure the on- hand availability of inventory. MRP then builds purchase suggestions to help ensure the procurement of needed inventory.

 
MRP Planning with Attributes

Engineered products can be assigned specific attributes for semi-finished or finished goods. This is useful when applying value-added services. A bill of material for engineered products likewise can leverage materials with attributes. MRP accurately automates production based on demand and forecasts, ensuring material requirements with attributes are procured to meet the need.

 
Dual Units of Measure

Transact throughout ERP in two units of measure at the same time. Inventory Stock Status will demonstrate inventory availability by attribute in both units of measure. An example would be feet and pounds.
