Hi,

This is standard system behaviour, see below extract from documentation:

Standard Purchase Order Quantity

Quantity of the material that is normally ordered from this vendor.

Use

The standard purchase order quantity serves as a basis

for computing the effective prices in vendor evaluation.

for determining the price if a price/quantity scale applies

Example: standard quantity 100 pcs.

Scale prices: 1-100 pcs. $10.00/ 101-200 pcs. $8.00

Price determined on basis of standard quantity: $10.00

Dependencies

The standard quantity may not be less than the minimum order quantity.

I fail to understand why would you have any problems with the fact that the minimum order quantity must be less than the standard quantity.

Maybe it is because you interpret Standard order quantity as standard package quantity!

Hi Mario

I am thank full to you by your clear explaination .

I was really in the interpretation of taking SPQ as SOQ.

Ok is their any feasibility in SAP in maintainng SPQ i.e., Standard Package Quantity

Hi Chaitanya,

It depends what you want to use it for.

You can maintain an alternative UOM, and use it as the order UOM, in the case of external purchasing.

If you package it internaly you can maintain packaging intructions.
