Dear SAP Gurus
My client purchases & sells metal rods/cyclinders.
The purchase UOM is KILOS. The Stock UOM is METRES.
There are over 5000 item codes with similar properties as stated below.
For this particular item the "Items per Purchase Unit" is 0.016667 (i.e. 1metre = 60 kg) this is the standard in the industry but when the goods are received there is always a tolerence difference.
We process the orders as follows:
1. We create a Purchase Order with the standard "Items per Purchase Unit"
2. when the goods arrive we amend the Purchase Order with the actual "Items per Purchase Unit" (because you cannot do this at the next stage of Goods Receipt). .for example todays delivery could be 0.016620.
The problem is that even though the Base Quantity is not changed the "Unit Price" changes.
Is there a way to prevent this change of the Unit Price?
Or another setup method to accomodate Purchasing in KILOS and create a Goods Receipt in METRES with a different "Items per Unit" ratio each time?
regards, Sotos Soteriou
PS - the sales UOM is METRES.
