This setting in Clarus WMS controls how conversion tasks are generated when you process works orders for products made from a Bill of Materials (BOM).
You can find this setting in the Conversion section of your account and turn it on or off. When turned off, the system creates one conversion task per pick task. When turned on (which is recommended), the system creates one conversion task for each child product for every BOM conversion, allowing for more detailed tracking.
The setting changes the number of conversion tasks created during a works order.
Imagine you have 10 Xbox units and 10 Cyberpunk 2077 games in stock. Your BOM product is an "Xbox and Cyberpunk 2077 Bundle," which needs one of each item, with an output quantity of one. You create a works order for 10 of these bundles, resulting in 2 pick tasks.
When 'Convert By Output Quantity' is turned off, the system creates 1 conversion task for Xbox and 1 conversion task for Cyberpunk 2077. This matches the 2 pick tasks.
When 'Convert By Output Quantity' is turned on, the system creates 10 conversion tasks for Xbox and 10 conversion tasks for Cyberpunk 2077. Each task represents the conversion of one unit, matching the total number of jobs.
Suppose you have 10 Wire units and 10 Tin Cans in stock. Your BOM product is a ""Tin Can Telephone,"" which requires 1 Wire and 2 Tin Cans, with an output quantity of one. You create a works order for 10 Tin Can Telephones, leading to 3 pick tasks.
When 'Convert By Output Quantity' is turned off, the system creates 1 conversion task for Wire and 2 conversion tasks for Tin Can. This matches the 3 pick tasks.
When 'Convert By Output Quantity' is turned on, the system creates 10 conversion tasks for Wire (each with a quantity of 1) and 10 conversion tasks for Tin Can (each with a quantity of 2). This gives a detailed record of each conversion job.
When the setting is off, it simplifies tracking by creating 1 task per pick task. This is ideal for bulk conversions when you don't need detailed tracking of each individual child product.
When the setting is on (recommended), it creates 1 task per child product per job. This is recommended for detailed stock tracking and full auditability of each conversion.
The recommended setting is On for maximum auditability, as it tracks each child product conversion in detail.
Yes, you can toggle the setting on or off depending on how much detail you need for tracking conversions.
Use this when converting bulk products without needing to track each individual material's conversion into a parent product.
No, it only affects the number of conversion tasks created, not the pick tasks themselves.
When the setting is On, each conversion task records detailed stock usage, helping you maintain accurate stock levels for child products.
