Order Multiple in Purchasing

[Former Member]

Hello,

Can you please help me with how do I maintain order multiples for material in either material master or in InfoRecord? I don't see any standard field to maintain the same.

Thank you.

the standard way to achieve your requirement is with rounding profile in info record. see the F1 field help there.

Create a static rounding profile in OWD1 and assign it to your info record.

define it like this

threshold  rounding value

  1               12

13               24

25               36

37               48

...

Hi Ian,

Thank you for the suggestion, but in that case order quantity can be anything and it will multiply by the number given.

For example, I can define 1 box= 12 pcs.

then I can have PO quantity anything and it will be multiply by 12.

if PO quantity is 10 then total orderd pcs are 120 like wise.

But the requirement is to order quantity in the multiple of 12 like 12, 24, 26 like wise.

I will propose your solution to my client, but I doubt it will be excepted.

Thank you very much.

Hello Jurgen,

Sorry for the confusion, some vendors takes PO quantity in a certain multiple for materials. e.g.: if the multiple is 50, then your PO quantity should be like, 50, 100, 150..etc.

if the multiple is 12, then PO quantity should be multiple of 12 like, 12, 24, 36, 48..etc.

Hope I clarified the term properly.

Also. there is no fix lot, it is just multiple in which vendor takes quantity in PO.

Dear Rohan Shah,

I think you can use conversion unit like

Example:

1 BOX = 12 PC.

Then make box as the order unit.

You can define conversion unit via material master MM01/MM02-> Basic Data 1 View -> Additional Data

=> Unit of Measure tab

=> Make PC as the base unit and box as a order unit

Define 1 BOX = 12 PC

Then, in purchasing view:

Base Unit of Measure = PC

Fill in order unit as BOX

Var. OUn = 1

You can define the same conversion in info records. Here you can define order unit based on vendor

and material combination in the General Data.

Order unit      BOX

Conversion      1      BOX <-> 12     pc

Var. Order Unit   1

Hi

Check if Ian Wong solutions works for you

However there no such check or field

cutomised solution would be to code an error message in exit EXIT_SAPMM06E_012

1) Create z error message

2) Create a z maintaince table with Plant,sloc, material.

3) update the materials you wish to have this check

4) code your logic to throw error message created in step1 refering material plant combination in table in step3

As Qty field is mandatory in PO you can also use field exit.

can you explain your term " order multiples" in more detail?

I cannot imagine what you mean
