2573755 - Incorrect UoM Proposed During Posting Goods Receipt

Symptom

When you select Post Goods Receipt for a relevant Purchase Order ID, you expect that the UoM(Unit of Measure) proposed will be the one used in the Purchase Order. However system is proposing a different UoM.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Inbound Logistics work center.
  2. Select Purchase Orders view.
  3. Search and select the relevant Purchase Order ID 
  4. Click Post Goods Receipt.
  5. You will notice that the UoM proposed is not the same as in the Purchase Order 

Cause

The system always proposes the UoM maintained under Logistics tab in the product master data starting from Logistics processing until Confirmations (including Warehouse Documents).

Resolution

You cannot change the UoM maintained under Logistics tab in the product master data. As a workaround, you can populate the Actual Quantity when posting goods receipts with the UoM you would prefer to use.
