We have a situation where one vendor sells the item as "10EA/BX" and the other vendor sells it as 1 EA (but in this case, the EA is actually just referring to the box). We have decided to switch to the vendor who sells it by the EA but would still like to keep the actual packaging string (10ea/bx).

 

The problem is, when the PO is put through, the vendor will reject it because they don't recognize the BX UOM. Any ideas?

You would need to put something other than ea as the stock uom and then make the conversion for EA 10. We have a couple of reagents that way. TT = Test and then EA = 10TT.

Kat, that's a great solution! We'll do that.
