Managing Random Weight Items in HIMPACT
Random weight, also called catch weight, is easy to manage in HIMPACT. Since most random weight items use the Unit of Measure of Case for everything except for calculating the purchase price (because prices are quoted by the pound), most of the issues around these items are actually easily managed.
Overview
In HIMPACT, all that needs to happen to use this option is to set the Purchasing Price Unit of Measure to Weight.At some point, before or at delivery, a final total weight per PO line is communicated from the vendor or calculated at receiving and the final costs on the PO are settled. When the final cost per line is interfaced back to HIMPACT with the PO receipt information, the PO sets a flag on the PO Line indicating the price is now finalized and it saves off the Original Effective Price as well. In HIMPACT, all that needs to happen to use this option is to set the Purchasing Price Unit of Measure to Weight. In the case below, the Case weighs 12 pounds per case. The purchase price is $4 per pound so the Purchase price per case is $48.
