The base unit from info record differs from that of the material master record.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Configure a material with base unit of measure ABC.
- Create a purchasing info record for the material with unit ABC.
- Change the material’s base unit of measure to XYZ.
- Attempt to update the purchasing info record to unit XYZ, face the error: Please adjust base unit and conversion factor (Message no. 06365)
Cause
Changing the order unit (purchase unit of measure) in an existing purchasing info record is restricted to preserve traceability. The order unit is tightly coupled with price conditions, unit conversion logic between order and base units, and historical purchasing documents. Due to these dependencies, direct UoM change is intentionally blocked in Public Cloud.
