      <Paragraph>An item’s effectivity unit in inventory indicates the unit
		effective (end) item in which the item will be used. For example, if the item’s
		unit is 15, the item will be used in a configuration of an item or end item
		with effectivity unit 15. The lot number is used to store unit information: The
		inventory is stored at lot level, and in the lot, the unit is recorded. As a
		result, you can only use effectivity units in inventory if an item is lot
		controlled. If the item is <GUIRef href="" role="manual">not</GUIRef> lot controlled, the item is
		stored with unit 0 (zero) in inventory, even if a demand exists for a specific
		effectivity unit.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>For items that are not lot controlled, unit information in
		planned supply in Infor Enterprise Planning is unnecessary. If these items are
		stored in inventory, the unit information is lost. To prevent planned supply
		for items that are <GUIRef href="" role="manual">not</GUIRef> lot controlled, you can only select the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Unit Effective Supply</GUIRef> check box in the Items – General
		(tcibd0501m000) details session if the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Lot Controlled</GUIRef> check
		box is also selected.</Paragraph>

      <SectionTitle>Units in planned inventory transactions</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>The planned orders that Infor Enterprise Planning generates are
		transferred to production orders and purchase orders. The unit information is
		also transferred. You can view the orders’ units in the planned inventory
		transactions:</Paragraph>

      </Figure>
      <Paragraph>The demand in the planned inventory transactions (PIT) of the
		drive pulley contains unit information. If a requirement exists for a specific
		unit of a lot controlled item, the unit is stored in the corresponding lines in
		the PIT. If the planned production order for the conveyor is transferred to a
		production order, units specify the estimated materials. As a result, the
		requirements of the drive pulley contain unit information, which is recorded on
		the corresponding PIT lines of that lot-controlled item. The supply in the PIT
		is based on the drive pulley’s production order. The units of not specify the
		production order because the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Unit Effective Supply</GUIRef> check box
		is not selected for the drive pulley. The corresponding PIT lines do not
		contain unit information.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>As a result, lot controlled items for which the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Unit Effective End Item</GUIRef> check box in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000)
		details session is cleared can have demand lines in the PIT that contain unit
		information, whereas the supply lines in the PIT are not by unit.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>This only works if the demand line’s unit is interchangeable
		with the unit of the supply line, which is unit 0 (zero). Therefore, the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Effectivity Units are Interchangeable</GUIRef> check box in the Items –
		General (tcibd0501m000) details session is selected if the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Unit Effective Supply</GUIRef> check box is cleared.</Paragraph>

      <SectionTitle>Units in inventory</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>If you store an item in inventory, you can link the effectivity
		unit of the configuration of the item or end item in which you want to use the
		item. As a result, you can see for which units the inventory must be used. In
		the example, you can view the inventory of the item belt standard at unit
		level.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Note that you can link an effectivity unit to an item that is
		not unit effective itself. In the example, the units linked to the belt
		standard in inventory refer to the conveyor, the unit effective end item. The
		belt itself is not a unit effective item for which units are defined.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The lot number is used to store unit information: The inventory
		is stored at lot level, and in the lot, the unit number is recorded. In this
		way, LN can
		display the inventory at unit level. As a result, you can only store inventory
		at unit level if the item is lot controlled. If the item is not lot controlled,
		the item is stored with unit 0 (zero) although the demand is for a specific
		unit.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>In the example, the drive pulley, the bolt, and the wheel are
		not lot controlled. As a result, specific units are not recorded in inventory
		for those items.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>A production order for the conveyor issues a specific unit of
		the drive pulley. Since no unit is supplied from inventory, LN just
		supplies unit 0 (zero). LN checks whether the item is lot controlled. If that is the case, the outbound
		lines for the drive pulley in Infor Warehousing have unit 0 (zero).</Paragraph>

      <SectionTitle>Inbound of units</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>If an item is lot controlled, you can receive the item at unit
		level. During the receipt, the unit is entered. You cannot enter the unit for
		items that are not lot controlled, because the stock of those items cannot
		contain units.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>In the example, you will release purchase order WG2000003. The
		inbound lines of this order contain the unit information. After you release the
		purchase order, you can receive belt standard that was ordered by the purchase
		order.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>On the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Receipt Line</GUIRef> tab of the warehouse
		receipt, LN displays the unit. To display the warehouse receipt line details, start the
		Warehouse Receipts (whinh3512m000) session and double-click a receipt line.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>On the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Item, Location</GUIRef> tab, you enter the lot
		number. To generate the lot number, click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Generate Lot</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The other purchase line is received in the same way.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>After both lines are received, you can view the unit information
		in inventory.</Paragraph>

      <SectionTitle>Outbound of units</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>You can also carry out the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">outbound</GUIRef> procedure
		at effectivity unit level.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>A production order, or another order type, for example, a sales
		order can request a unit. If no unit is requested, the outbound is carried out
		for unit 0 (zero). If you request a unit but the relevant item is not lot
		controlled, no unit information is stored at the outbound line, because no
		units are stored in inventory. The outbound procedure can only be carried out
		for a specific unit, if the item is lot controlled.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>In the example, a production order was created for unit 9595 and
		9596. The unit is filled in the outbound lines of the lot-controlled
		components. In the outbound lines of the component that is not lot controlled,
		no unit is filled.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The belt standard, the drive pulley, and the motor are lot
		controlled. Therefore, the supply lines in the PIT contain unit information.
		For more information, refer to "Units in planned inventory transactions,"
		earlier in this chapter. Consequently, the unit information is also stored on
		the outbound lines. For every unit, a separate outbound line is generated. The
		tail pulley is not lot controlled so units do not determine the outbound for
		this item. Therefore, only one line, with quantity 2, is generated for the
		item. An outbound line of the belt standard contains the unit. The outbound
		line of the tail pulley does not contain a specific unit: Unit 0 (zero) means
		"no unit."</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If you release the outbound advice for the belt standard, the
		outbound advice contains the unit.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>In the rest of the issue procedure, you do not need to fill the
		unit manually.</Paragraph>
