Item Master Data / Sales Data

Question

Hi
   I created the an item (for Sales) "SalesItem1" and on hand of the item is 25 (in Tonnes)
   Items per Sales Unit  -
> 0.09
   Quantity per Packaging UoM  -
>1
  When a sales order or an A/R invoice is raised , ie  in Document lines
  ItemNo         Quantity    Unit Price
  SalesItem1      5              50
  the on hand get reduced as 24.55 ... (From 25 tonnes 0.45(5*0.09) get reduced)
the same item when i creating under another name suppose "SalesItem2"
  General Tab ---> Manage Item by ---> Serial Numbers
   and when i tried to give the
   Items per Sales Unit ---> 0.09
   an error occurs
   "Purchasing and Sales Unit of a serial item must be an integer"
     Please any one give me the solution and Thanks in advance.......

Hi Mohan
The problem you are getting when you select serial number is you cannot partial item when you give serial number suppose you have an item with serial number xyz then you cannot sell part of the serial number. it should be sold in whole. Hence you are getting this error.
The possible remedies could be.
Use batch number instead of serial number.
Use the quintals or Kgs as uom instead of tonnes
