Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Sales Orders work center.
  2. Go to the Sales Orders view.
  3. Choose the Show All option.
  4. Search for the Sales Order ID XYZ (XYZ represents the ID of the sales order).
  5. Click on the Edit button.
  6. Click the View All button.
  7. Go to the Items tab.
  8. The UoM for the adapted field created for Quantity is shown is the local language (e.g. German) as per the Business Configuration setting for the UoM.
  9. Select the Preview button.
  10. In the PDF form the UoM for the adapted field is shown in English instead of local language.

Note: This case is also valid for all the other business documents like Sales Quotes, Customer Invoice, Purchase Orders etc.
