Multiple Units of measure for one item

["Fred Berger" <FBerger@xxxxxxx>]

We are a US based company working in LB. We are opening a new facility in 
Canada that will work with KG. They will manufacture and distribute all their 
products in KG. Our Canadaian customers will order in KG from both our Canada 
and US warehouses.

How can I define items in BPCS to accomodate for both needs?

The idea I had was to create duplicate items with a suffix of some sort for the 
KG managed items. When our Canadian facility or customers order it from us in 
the USA we would create orders in KG and debit inventory in LB in the US 
warehouse (using the selling U/M conversion factor from the Item Master). When 
they receive it in BPCS at our facility in Canada they would need to convert it 
to the KG based item so that it can be received and managed in KG in their 
inventory.

Is there a better way to handle this?
