Set up Catch Weight Item on Item Card

You can define an Item as a Catch Weight Item on the Item Card page.

1. Select the Search icon , enter Items, and then choose the related link.
   The Items List page opens.

2. Select and click the required No. to open the Item Card page.

3. On the Inventory FastTab, fill in the Net Weight field with the net weight of the item.
   To display all the fields such as the Net Weight, you might need to choose Show more for the Inventory FastTab.

   Note

   For a Catch Weight Item, you can change the value of the Net Weight field on the Item Card page only if there is no Item Ledger Entry for that Item. Based on the Net Weight, the Item Unit of Measure lines are created automatically for the Catch Weight Unit of Measure.

4. Turn on the Catch Weight toggle to specify that the catch weight of the item is considered for the transactions. The weight can vary from item to item, either due to weight loss during storage or other factors.
   Perform the following checks:

   • Item is set with Lot Tracking or License Plate Tracking
   • Costing Method field is set as FIFO, LIFO, Specific, Average, or Standard
   • No Item Ledger Entry exists
   • Item is not used in any open document

5. Fill in the Catch Weight Setup Code field with the code representing the percentage variance of a catch weight item from the dropdown menu.
   You can edit this field only if the Catch Weight toggle is turned on.

6. On the action bar, click Related > Item > Units of Measure to open the Item Units of Measure page.

   

7. The Qty. per Unit of Measure field specifies how many of the base units of measure are contained in one unit of the item. For more information, see Advanced Pricing Setup.
   The Base Unit of Measure, Purchase Unit of Measure and Sales Unit of Measure cannot be the same as the Catch Weight Unit of Measure.
