Symptom
During the creation of a purchasing info record, the system allows saving an order unit of measure that is not aligned with the alternative units maintained in the material master data and shows no error or warning.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a purchasing info record in the system.
- Enter and save an order unit of measure that is not aligned with the alternative units maintained in the material master data.
- Observe that no error or warning message is displayed.
Cause
When a quantity conversion is maintained between the order unit and the base unit in the purchasing info record, the system works as designed and does not validate the order unit against the material master’s alternative units; therefore, no error or warning is raised.
Resolution
This is standard system behavior.
