The facility to set a UOM (trade unit) against a supplier and being able to use that unit for MRP generated purchase orders (Order generation and as the default when creating manual orders) would offer much greater flexibility and eliminate rounding issues. If the system was set up so the stock and base to be the lowest unit used, then every trading unit would be a multiple - so no rounding problems or restrictions imposed by decimal precision would exist. This would also allow the customer to set a different UOM for each supplier - some simple examples of the practicalities of this would be where a customer orders goods in pallets from their preferred supplier but may buy in boxes on occasions when they need stock quickly from a local supplier - or different suppliers offering different packet sizes.

The status of this idea is will not implement. Sage 200 manufacturing is being retired and is in extended support. It may be that you wish to do this outside of MRP so I would suggest you raise as a separate idea in this case
Would also be helpful if this could be used when the generate PO's is used from SOP.
