Hi Hari,

Purchase order price unit is the basis of unit price

For example your rate is R/s/-2 Per (1or 2 purchase order price unit)

And purchase order unit is when you have different unit of measure than your

Base unit of measure for a material

For example :-Oil your base UOM is Liter but you order as per Barrel

so your Purchase order unit is Barrel

And you maintain relation between these two in material master additional data

1Barrel=how meny liters

Hope its clear to you

HI

For eg In a PO if u see 21 gal (ordered quantity ) and 1 USD / LB as price

here order price unit is LB

order unit is gal.

base unit of measure and stock keeping unit may be different or same to the ordered qty.

Example will help u

Consider an order for screws. The screws are ordered by the box. However, the vendor's price is $10 per kg, and 1 kg of screws fills 24 boxes.

A purchase order for 24 boxes of screws would contain the following information:

Order quantity 24

Order unit Box

Gross price per unit $10

Order price unit (number) 1

Order price unit kg

Conversion factor 24 boxes = 1 kg

reward if usefull
