Defaulted Uom 'AU' in Blanket Purchase Order

[Former Member]

Hi Colleagues,

Does anyone know how and why the unit of measure 'AU' for 'activity unit' is defaulted into the purchase order line item for a blanket text purchase order?

Even If I enter 'EA' during the manual line item entry this is overwritten with 'AU' when I press enter and then it is no longer changeable....

Any advice as to where this default would occur from? Especially confused as this is obviously text based, not material master based

Thanks

Steve

because it is customized (and probably hardcoded too) in IMG -

Have a look into OSS Note 426058 - Purchase order qty on item level for SRV always "1"

It talkes about quantity, but it is the same logic

a few numbers I already know from my mind

I usually search with keywords like transaction code or message numbers or just FAQ

I do not really use more than 3 words in combination

I try to search with words that would be used in answers. do not search with words that you would use in questions.

I first search only for notes for MY system, if I dont get a hit then I search for ALL systems.

I usually search in english, but if I dont find what I am looking for, then I try in German

The first search I do with linguistic search, then I try with exact search

I do not just focus on titels that look like they would have the right answer, I read all subjects and some of them in detail too.

I remember what I have seen. so I know at least that a note exists and I can search for it next time.

If I do a new implementation/project, then I search for OSS notes to fix all possible errors before we go live. Especially for archiving I do this ahead of EACH archive run.

The FAQ notes of your area should be well known by a consultant anyway.
