conversion of Base unit of measurement

[former_member1352155]

Hi,

Can anyone help me with this issue.Base unit of measure is maintained as EA in material master and in additional data the alternative unit of measure is given as 1EA=2 Kg.when I am creating a STO with this material if I enter the order unit as EA and quantity as 1 the system automatically converts it to 2 Kg I do not want this convertion and there is no info record maintained for this material , whereas for other materials there is no conversions to kg.PLease let me know how can I retain it in EA?

Thanks,

Varsha

Hi,

Please check your ORDER unit maintained in the purchasing view of the MMR .Could be the reason since Ordering unit is KG and hence is taking in the PO .

Hi Ragavendra,

Order unit is not maintained in material master.

[former_member197616]

have you checked the info record ? does in that the unit is given as KG and is being refferred in PO ? Or are you reffreing a OA which is with KG ?

Hi Ragavendra,

There is no inforecord maintained for the material.In material master the base uom is maintained as EA  and in additional data under unit of measures conversion is maintained as 1EA =2KG.when I am creating STO with order unit as EA and quantity as 1,  the system automatically converts into 2 Kg.

You do one thing . do not enter the uom initially . after provsision of the material in the PO material field and and quantity press enter and see what happens . also you are having the facility to change the KG defaulted . if not reffered the po unit to be base uom . i assume a OA would have beeb created for this material with order unit kg .please check

Varsha,

Since it is an STO, and I am assuming it is an interplant STO. Have you checked the Order unit of measure for these two materials in both the plants?

Just maintain the variable order unit as 1 in material master. Then try.

Hi Dibyendu,

It worked fine but there is one query where there is another material which doesnot have variable order Unit set as 1 but still there is no conversion happening unlike the material which had the conversion from EA to KG.

[former_member183424]

Check is there any order unit or issue unit has been maintained in material master.

[former_member1352155]

Hi Dibyendu,

In both the material order unit is not maintained.

Only the base unit of measure is maintained as EA and in additional data under units of measure the conversion  factor of 1EA = 2 KG is maintained for both materials

[former_member183424]

There must be some differences between material master or purchase order.
