3552102 - UOM issue in Purchase Order creation based on Sales Document

Symptom

Unable to change Unit of Measure in Purchase Order.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Resolution

While working with variable order units, the following points should be considered:

  1. Third-party order: If a third-party order is generated from a sales document, the sales unit is adopted as the order unit.
  2. Requisition: It is possible to enter an order unit that differs from the base unit of measure stored in the material master record in a purchase requisition. The order unit on the requisition item detail screen can be found. When a requisition is converted into a PO, the variable order unit field must set to active. Otherwise, the order unit in the requisition is overwritten by the order unit in the info record.
  3. EAN: International article numbers (such as the European Article Number EAN or the Universal Product Code UPC ) with different units of measure may have been defined for the material. Enter EAN or UPC units of measure in the purchasing document if:
  • The base unit of measure and the order unit in the material master record differ.
  • The variable order unit in the material master record is active.
