Catch Weight

If the vendor unit for a particular product is different from the inventory unit, the reconcile quantity can be changed to reflect the number of inventory units (such as LB) rather than the number of vendor units (such as CS) by using the Catch Weight feature. This is useful when a vendor ships a particular product by the case but charges by the pound, as it helps the company to accurately determine the value of the products in inventory by reconciling using the cost per inventory unit.

 

Note: Product rows where the Invoice Quantity does not equal the Order Quantity will be highlighted to enable users to identify items with discrepancies more easily. This means that all products reconciled using Catch Weight will be highlighted since this process creates a discrepancy. Electronically invoiced orders may include products reconciled using Catch Weight but on these orders, this information cannot be edited manually.
