NetSuite Professionals

Hi all,

I'm setting up a few units of measure and I keep getting this error. Any idea why this happens?

Did you copy UOMs from sandbox to production via bundle?

Does NetSuite have limitations to the magnitude of these measures?

Right - but did you ever - in the history of your account - d copy them over from sandbox?

None that I'm aware - but I'd certainly express caution around getting too creative.

This is a new account, so I don't thinks these have ever been copied

I noticed the error in just one type name that has magnitudes going to 10e12 of the base measurement

I didn't. I just wrote that for ease of writing

Yeah same. Should I call support? Would that be a better approach?

a UOM Type that has more than 5 or 10 units that can be picked within it is going to be error prone by users.

do you really have something that has that large of a magnitude? NS stores everything in base units - and there are limits to the integer size in the database... I'd be concerned around creating errors.

This is mass and the base is kg, if we offset it to mg as base, then maybe that will work

I'd probably consider using your base as Grams - and then do 1/1000 for MG and 1000 for KG. (or whatever that math works out to be.

Though - I'd probably try for a solution not using UOM schedules in that case if I could avoid it -

That said, I dimly recall having set up a mass conversion previously with no issues.

It's also plausible there's some kind of defect currently.
