Hi,
in standard the component qty unit in the PPM is the base unit independently if in the bom the alternative unit is used.
Is it possible to change it? I need to have the qty in the alternative unit for the component in PPM as they are entered in the BOM.
Otherwise I face issues. For example: component qty in the BOM is 0,180 meters. the base unit is Roll. the conversion is 1 Roll = 800 meters. In the PPM the component qty is 0. So we have zero consumption!
this means also that when we create planned order APO will not plan this component as it has 0 consumption.
Question: How can I change the system behavior to be able to use alternative units in PPM? I know I can change the unit and qty in the PPM manually but this is not a good solution. with each update of the ppm the component unit and hence the qty would be changed back to base unit.
Appreciate any useful input. thank you in advance!
best regards,
Pilvi
