Hi,

I want to change Primary UOM for the specific item to other Primary UOM, Is it possible because m not cleared about.

as per my knowledge, we can not change primary UOM.
thanks

Hi Chandak
oracle is not allow changing UOM for items, but in case you need to change it; if there is no transactions or PO, PR issued for this item you can change it from the backend which is not recommended
or its better to delete current item by delete item form on all organization and create new one with the correct UOM

changing item primary UOM is not oracle recommended practice because UOM is mandatory field for almost all the transactions so system will update UOM data in almost all the tables hence changing UOM will corrupt enter item life cycle. it is very difficult to fix it in case of data corruption. Presently oracle will not support primary UOM change in the item master form. do not try to update it from the back end it will not going to help you to fix this issue instead you can create alternative item or new item referring to old item. As for as I know this is the oracle recommended best practice.

Good luck
Saf
