Symptom
- For configurable products using AVC/CPQ, the calculated weight is correctly determined and displayed in sales-side documents (sales order and delivery).
- When follow-on procurement documents are generated (purchase requisition, stock transfer order, purchase order), the calculated/configured weight is not transferred.
- Procurement documents instead use the default weight from material data.
- This results in inconsistent and incorrect weight values between sales-side and procurement-side documents.
- No specific error message or error code is displayed.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a configurable product using variant configuration (AVC/CPQ) so that a configuration-based weight is calculated.
- Create a sales order and delivery; observe the correct configuration-based weight displayed.
- Generate follow-on procurement documents (purchase requisition, stock transfer order, or purchase order) from the sales process.
- Open the procurement document and observe that the weight defaults to the material data weight instead of the configuration-based weight.
Cause
By design, procurement documents derive values such as weight from material data defaults and do not consume dynamically calculated AVC/CPQ values.
Resolution
The content Explaining Master Data in Sourcing and Procurement confirms: Procurement documents rely on material master defaults, not dynamic configuration values
