Purchase module : UoS not set properly when move is created

Would you care to write a XML test file to demonstrate this problem?

Hello Benoit,

Functionally, UoS is a unit of sale, and it is used only for Outgoing moves(products).
Have a look at Products and check that it has Purchase UoM.

UOS is for the meaning for : You buy/purchase in UoM and sale them in UoS.

Thanks.

Hello Jay,

OK. The documentation expressly explain that "For example, in food industries, you will manage a stock of ham but invoice in Kg. Keep empty to use the default UOM"

... But what if I am the customer of this company selling ham. Can't I use OpenERP?
I buy ham by the KGM (I can't know the number of pieces and it is invoiced to me in KGM) and then move them to the production unit in pieces. Then the production unit manages it by KGM

... or should I describe the products I buy differently?

Thanks for your help

Hello Benoit.

It means, you can buy ham in KGM and sale them in Peices(Gram possibly). For this product set UoM as KGM and UoS as gram.

If you are the customer of of this company selling ham, that company is your SUPPLIER. In the configuration of your company, that seller will stay as customer. Isn't it?

Let me know if its not clear.

Thanks.

Hello again,

I have set UoM as KGM and UoS as PCE

OpenERP does not allow UoM as KGM and UoS as grams since they would be in the same category unit
    _constraints = [
        (_check_uos, 'Error: UOS must be in a different category than the UOM', ['uos_id']),
I dont' understand why, this constraint but it is not a problem for me because I do not do that).

I am a customer of this company selling ham, so that partner is a supplier and not a customer.

Am I clear, myself?

Benoit

Oh yes, that partner is a Supplier for you.

Sorry for that Typing mistake.

Well,

I don't feel my question is really answered.
It looks like my products/partners are described correctly, but my problem with UoS not being used in purchase module remains.

Hello,

When you are purchasing ham it will be in kg. and you can set approximate UOS (for example 20 ham in 1 kg).
If you purchase 1kg ham it will increase your stock by 20pcs of ham.

Set your default uom=KG only.
now create sale order for 10 pcs and confirm it. validate the picking too.
check the stock. you will get 0.5 kg ham in stock.

We can not get accurate result in this case when UOM and UOS are from different categories.
