Do items require unit of measure for MRP to function?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the provided Slack threads, it appears that the use of Units of Measure (UoM) in NetSuite is complex and can be convoluted, especially in the context of manufacturing. However, it is not explicitly stated whether UoM is required for Material Requirements Planning (MRP) to function. In general, UoM is used to define how inventory items are bought, sold, or stored. This can be particularly important when items are bought and sold in different units, such as pounds and pieces. However, the application of UoM in MRP is not directly addressed in the conversations. It's worth noting that MRP in NetSuite considers the inventory you have at the locations and can create planned purchase orders or transfer orders for those items. It also has the option to ignore certain items based on specific parameters on the item record. For example, if an item has a certain status (a custom field on the item record), it can be set to not be considered in MRP calculations. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
