3729629 - "Net weight" and "Gross weight" at item level are not copied when creating documents with reference to one another

When creating a sales document, which contains the fields "Net Weight" and "Gross Weight", with reference to another document (for example: a sales order with reference to a quotation), at the item level, the fields are not being copied to the new document.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Access the Manage Sales Quotations app.
2. Create a new document and add the material on it.
3. See that the fields "Net weight" and "Gross weight" at item level are automatically determined
4. Change the value of the fields
5. Save the quotation
6. Access the "Create Sales Order - VA01" app
7. Create a sales order with reference to the previous quotation
8. In the new document, the value that appears is the original one and not the value which was updated.

At code level, the table fields VBAP-BRGEW (Gross Weight of the Item) and VBAP-NTGEW (Net Weight of the Item) are not inserted in the item level requirement Include.

Instead of retrieving the values from the document which is being copied, the system calculates the net weight based on the order quantity for the item and the net weight proposed from the material master record. If the item has more than one schedule line, the system uses the total order quantity of all schedule lines to calculate the net weight. In sales documents where schedule lines are not allowed (contracts, for example), the system calculates the net weight using the target quantity.

At the moment, there is no BADi or tool that can influence/change this programming logic. 

As a workaround, it is possible to save the new document, with the original value from the master data, and then change the new document to the values required.

To add those fields in the copying control configuration, consider creating a feature request in Customer Influence, check the KBA below to get more information about this process.
