UoM changed in Process Order

[Former Member]

I have a finished product that has a base unit of measure M2.

In the BoM and Recipe the header UoM is M2

When I create a Process Order the UoM (the confirmation UoM is changed to M), even though this is not maintained in the Alt units of measures.

When I check the confirmation with Tcode CORT it is displaying the yield in M and not M2

Is there anything apart from the above that could effect this.

Thanks in advance,

There was a technical issue where the confirmation screen UoM was not overwriting the main table used in confirmation reporting

Check are you maintained production unit as M in Work scheduling view. & also check the UOM in Master recipe c202, whether you are maintained as M. If yes change it to M2

Yes I have checked these and all set to M2.

Even when you go into the confirmation process it is reporting M2 but as soonas you review it (via CORT) it is being reported as M,

HAve you checked in transaction CUNI if M is a unit od measure with the same dimension than M2 ?

OK, so I have checked and all is OK,

What I have noticed is that the Process Order and the confirmation is in M2.

When the confirmation is done it is reported in M in CORT.

Still a little mistified as another client is set exactly the same (from a master data specific).

Kind regards,

Are you using any transaction variant for order Confirmation, if yes, might be you have set default the UOM in that variant

So after digging a little deeper into the recipe, I have found that tha activity units of measure are maintianed in M.

If I check the operation standard values I can see that Charge Qty is in M2 and the Operation Qty is in M (so a conversion between the 2 UoM's exists)

Does this override the M2 UoM (In material master, Bom, Recipe header, process order and Confirmation screen) with respect to reporting in CORT?

So what I am trying to achieve is as follows:

The material master, bom, recipe and process orders are created in M2

The confirmation is in M2 (the profile has not had a defualt UoM assigned)

The confirmation operation is set to Operation UoM M (currently set at the moment) in one client all confirmations are being reported in M2 and in another client as M - this is where I am struggling to identify the difference

Confirmation information against the Process Order to be M2

Logic would tell me that the Operation UoM should be M2 to then record the qty based on this but as mentioned above it is working as required even if the operation is set to M,

Thanks in advance,
