Overview
From the Inventory by Location screen in Logiwa IO, supervisors and operations managers can convert a higher pack type inventory line — such as a case or pallet — directly into individual units without involving the warehouse floor. The conversion and inventory move happen together in a single confirmed action, with a full audit trail written automatically.
This is particularly useful when a case line was missed during an earlier transfer, needs to be corrected before a replenishment cycle, or a supervisor identifies a pack type mismatch without needing to dispatch a mobile task.
When to Use It
Use this feature when:
You identify case or pallet inventory in a location that should hold individual units
You need to correct a pack type mismatch without creating a separate mobile task
You want to convert and move inventory from a supervisor or desktop workstation in a single step
Prerequisites
Before using this feature, ensure:
Your user role has the Convert to UOM permission enabled. Contact your Logiwa administrator if the option does not appear.
The product has a UOM ratio configured (e.g., 1 Case = 12 Units).
The inventory row you are selecting is in Stock status, has no damage reason, and is a higher pack type (not already at UOM level).
Step-by-Step Instructions
Navigate to Inventory → Inventory by Location in the top navigation.
Locate the inventory line for the product and location you want to convert.
Select the row — ensure it is a single product and a single higher pack type (e.g., Case only).
Open the row-level contextual action menu (action button on the row).
Select Convert to UOM.
A confirmation modal appears showing: the product, the quantity being converted, the resulting unit quantity, and the destination location.
Review the details carefully, then click Confirm.
Logiwa IO converts the inventory and records the move in a single transaction. If the operation fails for any reason, it is fully reversed automatically.
Selection Rules
Selection | Behavior |
One product, one higher pack type row | ✅ Allowed — conversion proceeds |
One product, mixed pack types selected (UOM + Case rows) | 🚫 Blocked — deselect UOM rows and retry |
Multiple products selected | 🚫 Blocked — select one product at a time |
Same product, multiple higher pack types (e.g., Case + Box) | 🚫 Blocked — select one pack type per conversion |
Common Questions & Edge Cases
What if I select a unit (UOM) inventory row?
The Convert to UOM option will not appear or will be disabled for rows that are already at unit level. Only higher pack type rows can be converted.
Can I convert multiple products at once from the web?
Select one product at a time when using conversion from the Inventory by Location screen. Multi-product conversion is currently not supported.
What happens if I close the confirmation modal without confirming?
No changes are made. The operation is cancelled and inventory remains unchanged.
Does this update connected sales channels?
If your Logiwa IO account is connected to sales channels (e.g., Shopify, Amazon), the updated unit count will be reflected in your channel inventory feed during the normal sync cycle.
