Release demand from with different Unit of Measure

[Former Member]

Dear colleagues,

I have the following issue:

a) The material master base unit is Kilograms KG

b) The base unit used in DP is UN

c) In the master data exits the conversion 10 UN = 32KG

d) If I release 7800 UN from DP to SNP, I received 7800 KG instead of 29460 Kg.

What am I missing?

Best Regards

And what is the SNP planning area's UoM ? Have you maintained the conversions for that ?

i assume your SNP Planning area is in KG

I dont think the release forecast program checks the UoM of SNP planning area before release, It will transfer the PA base UoM.

So you can either have UN in SNP PA or you can use a internediate DP planning area with KG as UoM and then transfer to SNP (you can do this in one job just like you do normal release). If you use the same MPOS as the original DP planning area and use only the relevant KF that will be more than enough
