Sale in transit scenario with material having different UoM, conversion factor between Uom is variable from GRN to GRN

[Former Member]

Dear SAP Gurus,

We have the following scenario -  we are ordering materials (steel structures like column posts) from our vendor in kgs and doing sale in transit of the same to our customers . However we need to invoice our customer on a per unit basis(Nos). We order the material on theoritical weight derived from the number of units to be shipped to the customer - the conversion factor is not constant between KGS and Nos, as it is based on the cross section of the structure which will vary from order to order.  Further my vendor invoice on the basis of actual weights, which may be different from theoretical weight.

Please advise how to determine the cost of the material at quotation level and how to reconcile the difference between UOM in vendor invoice and customer invoice, please suggest if there is any standard process for sale in transit with material having variable unit of measures.

Thanks in Advance,

Regards,

Pavan kumar.

Weigh one steel structure and check the kg weight. So you got the approximate weight per No.  Maintain the same in material master alternate unit of measurement.  In addition to this, you can also maintain over delivery tolerance field in material master
