The statement:
"When doing a replenishment via the Replenish button on the product form, you have the possibility to change the unit of measure."
Implies that when replenishment is done the purchase uom will be changed when actually it just creates a stock.move with a calculated amount based on the product's uom.

Use Different Units of Measure
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
In some cases, handling products in different units of measure is
|
|
necessary. For example, if you buy products in a country where the
|
|
metric system is of application and sell in a country where the imperial
|
|
system is used, you will need to convert the units. Another common use
|
|
case is buying products in bigger packs to your supplier and selling
|
|
them in units to your customers.
|
|
|
|
You can set up Odoo to work with different units of measure for one
|
|
product.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
In the *Inventory* application, go to *Configuration > Settings*. In
|
|
the *Products* section, activate *Units of Measure*, then *Save*.

|
Create New Units of Measure
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
In the *Inventory* application go to *Configuration > UoM*. There,
|
|
hit *Create*. As an example, we will create a Box of 6 units that we
|
|
will use for the Egg product.

|
The category is important for unit conversion, you will be able to
|
|
convert products from one unit to another only if those units belong to
|
|
the same category. The box of 6 is 6 times bigger than the reference
|
|
unit of measure for the category which is “Units” here.

Specify Units of Measure on your Products
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
In the *Inventory application > Master Data > Products*, open the
|
|
product which you would like to change the purchase/sale unit of
|
|
measure, and click on *Edit*.
|
|
|
|
In the *General Information* tab, you can select the *Unit of
|
|
Measure* in which the product will be sold, which is also the unit in
|
|
which internal transfers will take place. You can also select the
|
|
*Purchase Unit of Measure*, which is the unit in which you purchase
|
|
the product.

Transfer from One Unit to Another
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Buy in the Pruchase UoM
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
In the *Purchase* application, *Create* a new request for quotation
|
|
in which you include the product with the different *Units of Measure*
|
|
and *Confirm* it.
|

|
On the automatically generated purchase orders, the UoM used is the Box
|
|
of 6, meaning the Purchase UoM. You have of course the possibility to
|
|
manually modify the UoM if necessary. When you enter the *Receipt*
|
|
which is linked to the purchase order, you can observe that the 10 boxes
|
|
of 6 units have been converted in 60 units. Indeed, the stock is managed
|
|
in units.

Replenishment

When doing a replenishment via the *Replenish* button on the product
|
|
form, you have the possibility to use a different unit of measure.

Sell in bigger UoM
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
You can choose the unit of measure on the sale order document and decide
|
|
to sell the eggs by the dozen. When doing so, the price is automatically
|
|
computed from Units UoM to adapt to the selected *UoM*.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
In the delivery order, the *UoM* used in the sale order is converted
|
|
to the *UoM* used for stock management, in our use case, the Units.
