Dear Experts,
We have an issue about forecast consumption regarding the unit of measure. In ECC, the PGIed quantity was in Bottles but APO is in Cases. The quantity is okay as both systems reflect the same (e.g 100 in ECC and 100 in APO). However, as I've said, the 100 in ECC is in Bottles and the 100 in APO is in Cases. Hence, forecast consumption results is not calculating correctly in the Forecast tab of RRP3.
With the above issue, I found this note 1423269 that says that the only resolution for the above issue is to have the unit of measure the same in both systems. Of course, business would not like that setup and we must find a way to convert that quantity correctly in APO. I'm thinking of getting the Unit of Measure field in table /SAPAPO/DP_SCHED but not sure how to do it and our ABAP team still lookng into this. This is the first step and then after that is to use a user exit to convert the quantity found in the table to desired unit of measure for the material used.
Is that a correct solution? Can you share if you have the same scenario and how did you resolve it? Hoping for a great discussion on this. Thank you.
Regards,
AA
