Hi There,

In case of creating an intra-company stock transport order (by using item category U and document type UB), system will not consider the order unit. System will fetch the value from unit of issue (MARC- AUSME). Cause of this behavior, plant to plant transfer is not correspond to purchasing, it quite comes under transfer posting; hence system will not pick the order unit which is maintained in material master. If there is no value defined in this field (unit of issue), then system will fetch the base unit of measure as order unit in stock transport order. In case of using Variable Purchase Order Unit (1 or 2), system will consider Unit of issue as order unit, but then it is possible to change it as per requirement. For inter company stock transport order (using document type NB), system will consider order unit as per normal purchase order.

Thanks,
