During invoicing, for items with a Unit of Measure of "LB.", the Weight value will default to the value of Qty. Ordered so that a weight value will always be present. This will cause the system to immediately deduct the specified weight from inventory so that the On Hand report will be more accurate.

 

Normally the weight for "LB." items is not provided until the order has actually been picked. So, until an actual weight is available, the system does not deduct anything from the on-hand inventory weight which can lead to artificially high on hand values if the On Hand report is run while there are in-process invoices containing "LB." items.
