Hi,

Lot size in Material Master is for internal Production system where you Run MRP.. Your PO is for external purchases. Even if you maintain Lot size of 100, you can create PO of 10, 20 or what ever quantity.

Please Follow the link for LOT Size procedure,

Hi Joyshe,

We maintain Lot Size in MM01 its right, but this lot size is used for our Internal Production. When we want to produce material internally this lot size will come into picture. For example as you have maintained Lot size 100, if you will create Production order for Less than that it wont take,

Now, YOu are Creating Purchase Order for 40 Quantities, this quantity u wont produce internally, you are purchasing this, So u dont have any control in This.

Hope it is clear now.

Thanks,

Dear Joyshe

In material master MRP1 view, maintain FX for "Lot size" and retry the process.

thanks
