3519627 - Price Unit in Purchase Request "Prices" Tab on Item Level is the Same as Contract Price Unit

Symptom

Create a purchase request with reference to a contract.

Price unit in the contract is maintained as A.

In the purchase request, maintain price unit for the line item as B.

Go to Prices tab on item level, it is displayed as A with converted amount, which is expected to be B.

(A and B represents different price units.)

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create contract XXX for a product with price unit "ea".
  2. Create purchase request YYY for the same product. 
  3. Under Source of Supply in the purchase request, select contract XXX.
  4. See that the price unit of the line item in purchase request YYY is automatically updated to "ea".
  5. Navigate to Prices tab of the item. See that price unit is EA now.
  6. Edit the price unit for the item, for example, "box". Maintain prices accordingly.
  7. Click on Check button.
  8. Navigate to Prices tab again. See that price unit is still "ea" but it is expected to be "box".

Cause

Purchasing will be recorded in the reference contracts. If a purchase request uses a contract as source of supply, then the purchasing will be recorded with the same price unit in the contract.

It's possible to update price unit for certain item in purchase requests as per requirement, but price unit under Prices tab is not editable and will only be the same as in contracts. This is the current system design.

Resolution

Currently system design.
