Subcontracting order(PO) picked wrong uom from Sale order

[Former Member]

Hi,

Dhananjay is here,

our scenario is base on BOM routing, we first create sale Order then we do MRP RUN, after MRP we change pld order to purchase requisition that we are using for making subcontracting order to subcontractor; many more things going right but some of them picked wrong UOM; what is the reason behind same; how we can resolve it;

Hello Dhananjay,

Could you please ensure have you maintained any Ordering Unit in the material master --> Purchasing view / Info record

for procured items system will consider the UOM as ordering UOM instead of Base Unit of measure

please check and update the status

Thanks Venkatesh,

As it's textile firm so here our base unit is meter(m2) & we define ordering unit in sale order(depends on order) that is automatically picked when we pass PR while making PO; most of time its match, but few of cases of same!

Hi,

Its couldn't justified because its not repeated mostly but few times its happens,

for example in saleorder we pass ordering unit C24(200X300) for 20 Pcs(that means total 120 sqmtr)

but

in PO its automatically changed to other uom like E28(170X230) & becomes 30 pcs (that calulated sqmtr 117.3); 

here base unit of measurement is Meter(M2);

hence 30 pcs of PO genrated in respect of 20 pcs of sale order;

does this restriction mean there have been changes before? especially related to the unit?

How can find it, normally i checked in CDPOS. there are not shown any entry!

are you an ABAPer? A functional consultant would just use the Envrionment menu in VA03 to look at the changes in a sales order.

I think SAP does not randomly pick any unit, SAP has always tried to be logical and takes the units from preceding documents or master data.

Lets start with the material master.

Is the unit listed in the alternative units?

Is there a an order unit maintained in the purchasing view?

Is this order unit identical to the unit in your purchase order?

Is the indicator for variable order unit set, which number?

Check the purchasing info record for a order unit.

Is the order unit here different to the base unit?

Is it different to your unit from the sales order?

In case your purchase order is made in reference to a contract too, is there eventually a different order unit in the contract?

Can the case  be repeated for the same material with the same result?
