Changing the UOM in a PO document

[Former Member]

Hello Guys,

When editing a PO created from a Shopping Cart, I seem to be unable to change its Unit of Measure (UOM).

When processing the PO in edit mode:

u2022 In the Item Overview screen, Iu2019m able to select any UOM from the dropdown list (although the u2018u2026u2019 link doesnu2019t show up), but the selection is not saved and any other action will return the UOM to the previous one.

u2022 In the Item Detail screen, Iu2019m unable to change the UOM if itu2019s a catalog item. If itu2019s a free form item, Iu2019m able to edit the UOM, but the dropdown only shows the current UOM (again without the u2018u2026u2019 link).

I thought the user should be able to change the UOM as long as the item is not a catalog or contract item. Does anybody know if this is SRM standard behavior? Anyone ever found a similar issue before?

Hope someone can help, weu2019re on SRM 5.5, and we have no active BAdI changing this.

Thanks all in advance,

José Omar

as far i know UOM should not able to change it in the Purchase order.

How PO was created . what is the uom in the material master and Order unit.

Is it copied form Contract.

why do you want to change the UOM in the Po ?

Hi Guys,

We are not using products in our SRM. So the original UOM was entered in a Free Form Item in the catalog, and then created a PO. We would like to be able to change the UOM for this item when editing a PO.

Does the UOM still have to have a dimension for us to change it in the PO document, even when not using products?

Thanks and regards,

José Omar

HI

Is this UOM with dimensions ?:

********************************

The minimum criteria in the existing system for change of one UoM to

another UoM for a particular product is as follows :

The product should have the Alternate Unit of Measure mentioned in the

Master table and a formula for inter-conversion between the two units.

In case when a unit has no dimension, it is not possible to have such a

formula and hence the system is not able to relate between the two

units which is correct and hence the message that the units are

not mutually convertible.

This is standard functionality and there is no note available in the

system for conversion between two units not having dimensions for a

particular product.

*********************************

Here are the source code details where this is checked at Function unit_conversion_simple_old

...

IF wa_in-dimid = const_dimless

OR wa_out-dimid = const_dimless. "K11K077476

==> MESSAGE e315 RAISING conversion_not_found.

ENDIF.

I hope this will clarify the problem .
