UOM issue in PO

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have an Issue related to UOM in PO. We have our Material Masters maintained as Base UOM as KG and order Unit as LB. We have maintained the Alternative UOM's, Variable OUn as 1 and Issue Unit as LB.

1) Our client dont want the Base UOM to be populated while creating the PO's. But they want Order Unit to be populated in PO. Is there a way that we can populate the Order Unit in PO?

At present they are replacing the Base UOM with Order Unit in PR and creating the PO. I had gone through the threads in SDN. But couldnt find anything useful. Please advice and If you could share some thread or Notes, your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Regards,

Senthil Thiruvarasa.

Maintain the Order Unit in the Purchasing Info Record (ME11) for the Vendor and Material combination in the General Data tab of PIR, so each time a PO is created referring this PIR the system will use this Order Unit to procure the material.

If you have contracts, then mention in the contracts OUn field in the line item which will automatically copy this order unit each time you create a release order against this contract.
