As each Agilent sites moves onto the Oracle ERP
system, they will begin to use Metric Measurements on all purchase orders and
forecasts. In addition Agilent will be
requesting liquid container and multiple quantity measures using a measure
noted as "Each". As necessary, some
Agilent orders will include supplier notes which will designate whether "Each"
refers to a "Drum, Bottle or Bundle etc…".
Agilent's current item drawings will not be changed, and will continue
to contain our current unit of measure, however all new drawings created will
detail the metric measurement.
Please note
the following:
§
Agilent's part
drawings will not be changed, and will continue to contain our legacy unit of
measure
§
Agilent sites,
which are not using Oracle, will continue to send forecasts and place orders
using the legacy system unit of measure
§
As a supplier
you may receive orders and forecasts for a part from both Agilent sites using
Oracle, and Agilent sites not using Oracle.
In this case you will receive orders and forecasts that may show
different measurement types (i.e. legacy versus metric)
