(OP)
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!

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

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.
