Symptom
- During RF putaway, changing the unit of measure (uom) does not recalculate the task quantity to the corresponding number of boxes/pieces.
- Example: a task created as 1 outerbox (equals 24 pieces) changed to innerbox (4 pieces) allows receiving only 1 innerbox instead of 6 innerboxes.
- It is not possible to split the quantity to receive a subset (for example, 2 innerboxes) and continue later with the remaining quantity.
- After confirming 1 innerbox, the system confirms the full warehouse task, although only part of the quantity was put away; the remainder cannot be received without creating new tasks.
- Expected behavior: after uom change, the quantity is recalculated (for example, 1 outerbox -> 6 innerboxes) and partial putaway via split is possible.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Create an inbound delivery and a putaway warehouse task for a material with multiple uoms (for example, piece, innerbox, outerbox). Ensure the task is in outerbox uom (for example, 1 outerbox = 24 pieces).
- On the RF device, navigate to putaway confirmation for the warehouse task.
- Press the UoM change function (UoMChg) and switch from outerbox to a smaller uom (for example, innerbox or pieces).
- Observe that the quantity remains 1 in the new uom and cannot be split into multiple handling units (for example, cannot change to 2 innerboxes while deferring the remainder).
- Confirming 1 innerbox results in the entire task being confirmed instead of a partial confirmation.
Cause
Using the RF UoM change function (UoMChg) only changes the displayed uom and does not change the stock-specific uom or recalculate the actual quantity; therefore, splitting/partial confirmation is not enabled through this path.
Resolution
- In the RF putaway confirmation screen, press the Excetp (Exception) button.
- Choose option 1. Change Stock-Specific Unit of Measure.
- Press Chng to change the uom and adjust the Actual Quantity to the required amount for the new uom.
- Proceed with confirmation to post the intended partial putaway. Repeat as needed for remaining quantities.
