Fishbowl Advanced error

Fishbowl: "Minimum quantity cannot be converted to [unit]"

PartPart setup or UOM dialog

What it means

This error occurs when you’re changing a part’s unit of measure or attempting to convert its minimum quantity to a different unit, but the minimum quantity value doesn’t translate validly to the target unit.

What to check

  • The part’s current minimum quantity value and which unit it’s set in
  • The target unit of measure and how it converts to the current unit (conversion factor)
  • The math: does the minimum quantity divide evenly by the conversion factor?
  • Whether the target unit allows fractional quantities or requires whole numbers only
