Suggested Answer: A, D

A catch weight item is an item that is sold by one unit of measure but is managed in inventory by a different unit of measure1. For example, diamonds are sold by boxes but weighed by carats.A full visibility catch weight item is a catch weight item that requires the weight of each individual container to be tracked2. For example, each box of diamonds must have its own weight recorded.

To set up a catch weight item for diamonds, you must do the following steps2:

Assign the item aTracking dimension groupwithactive serial number control. This enables the item to be tracked by serial numbers, which represent the individual containers of the item. Each serial number will have its own weight associated with it.

Assign the item aSerial number groupwithper qty. defined as 1. This ensures that each container of the item has a unique serial number and that only one container can be assigned to a serial number.

Create aninter-class unit of measure conversionbetweenboxes and carats. This defines the relationship between the sales unit and the inventory unit of the item. The conversion factor can be based on a nominal weight or an average weight of the containers.

Wouldn't we also need to assign a serial number group with per qty. defined as 1? That way we can track each individual box.

No kidding. But hey, at least they're not asking us to convert the diamonds to square carats or something crazy like that!

Hmm, this is an interesting catch weight item question. Tracking individual boxes of diamonds by their weight seems like a tricky setup.
