Storage Units
This section describes functionalities that relate to Storage Units in COSMO Process Manufacturing.
When lots are received in different containers, the Storage Units concept allows you to track these containers using trading units and trading unit numbers:
- Trading Units – This function handles different item unit of measures on inventory. You can decide if you want a new item variant per item UOM or a new item per item UOM. This allows you to enter different production structures (and therefore different BOM and routings) for item UOMs because you can use the new variants or new items.
- Trading Unit Numbers – This function provides a subdivision of the standard Lot Number. If you have multiple packages of one lot and you want to track each package using item tracking, you can use the trading unit number to separate them.
The only connection between both concepts is that if trading units are used and the items are using item tracking, then the separation of the lot number can also be used.
The following table describes a sequence of tasks, with links to the topics that describe them.
