Anyone have insight on why CHANGING a UOM in Teamcenter 8.3 seems so difficult?

Hey Everyone,

Anyone have insight on why changing a UOM in Teamcenter 8.3 seems so difficult?

For example, I am dealing with a bottle of oil that was created with a UOM of FL OZ, but I need it to be EA because my BOM calls for QTY 1 bottle of oil. I need to change it, but from what I understand is a lengthy process and blah, blah, blah.

Any tips or tricks?

Thanks!

Hey PeteSP,

UOM is really tricky to change. Teamcenter appears to only allow it if the item is not referenced anywhere. I was able to change UOM through a script by calling AOM_assign_tag(itemTag, “uom_tag”, uom_tag). If the item is used on BOMs, you will also need to change the value on the BOMLine. I wrote an outline on how I did this on this website.

Hopefully that helps.
