Greetings people ....
I have a situation that I hope one of you might have come accross. My client is in the motor industry and produces pressed parts from metal blanks. We have a field on the item card that specifies how many parts we can get from one blank ... say 5.
The problem comes in that the supplier sometimes deliver blanks that are longer or shorter than the standard size. so in that case you only get 4 or maybe you get 6 parts out of one blank. This plays merry hell on our inventory figures as well as on the ordering side.
Does anyone have an idea how to handle a situation like this?

I did not have such problem but I think one of decision can be using Unit of Measure conversion during purchasing.
