Problem regarding not reflecting unit conversion in PO - PIR

[Former Member]

Hi experts ,

I'm facing a problem regarding unit conversion of UoM .

Actually , Base Uom and alternate Uom maintains properly in material master - maintained their conversion factor properly .

But , when I try to create PO or PIR with this material - that conversion factor is not reflected in PO or PIR.

Please , help in this regard .

Attaching the screen - shots as necessary .

Hi, Two three points i would like to highlight . 1. In which unit you want to have your PO created Base UOM or Order Unit or in any other unit ? If you want to Order in another unit maintain it in the MMR Order unit field with a conversion factor . Then this will come into info record . If not you change the info record with prpper conversion I think this is your primary issue . Nest one is your issue or receipt .if proper conversion is given in MMR despite your PO uom , you can receive /issue in alternative unit and system will convert accordingly Regards

Hi

          Changes in Alternate Unit of measurement not updated if there are open records of material.

Plz check your scenario with new created material.

Not sure what you want, you did not say it.

Do you think SAP will by itself just use the alternative unit? What if you have 5 different alternative units maintained?

Actually ,I want conversion factor should be reflected in quantity tab in PO and general data screen in PIR ... but , here it didn't show it - that's why making problem .

[JL23]

why should it?  you ordered in the base unit.

Yes , ordered in Base unit ( CAR) - but receipt / issue will be done in alternate unit as EA as of business requirement .

and Unit of issue also maintains in Mat. master - in spite of , it didn't show .

All this info has nothing to do with a purchase order, so it is just good that it is not there.

If you order in EA then you will see it there.

If you set the order unit in material master then it will copy the right conversion to the info record (not in your case, you have already info record and would need to correct it manually if you change the order unit in the material master)

Here in this case , the business makes the order as in CAR what is Base unit and do the GR/GI with EA ( alternate unit )

I , tried with maintain order unit in in MMR - though , order unit copied into PO and PIR but not the conversion factor .

This is the paradox - order unit is copied but not the corresponding conversion factor .

why it's happening so ?

You info record existed already hence SAP does not update it automatically. Try it with another vendor or with a different material where you not yet have an info record.

By the way, EA is smaller than CAR, hence EA should be your base unit, otherwise you will soon run into the next issues with rounding of quantities as any movement is done in base unit.

Try to get a MM training, this is all basic stuff, even part of our end user training.
