purchase order unit of measure

Note: 

You can define the dimensions of the item in the Maintain Item Dimensions (tdpur4811s000) session if the Purchase Order Unit of Measure field has one of the following values:

• Length
• Area (m2)
• Volume

When you enter a purchase order line for an item whose quantity is expressed in one of the above values, the Maintain Item Dimensions (tdpur4811s000) session is started automatically from the Ordered Quantity field in the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session.

Default Item Code System

The item code system you want LN to use when you enter new items.

In Purchase Control , you can specify items in quotations, contracts, and orders by using an alternative item-code system. You can specify, for instance, the buy-from business partner's item code, or the EAN code. LN then converts this code to your own internal item code.

Note: 

LN uses a search sequence at the order level to see which item code system must be used:

• If a specific item code system is defined for the buy-from business partner in the Item Code System - Items (tcibd0104m000) session, LN uses this specific item code system.
• If no specific item code system is defined for the buy-from business partner in the Item Code System - Items (tcibd0104m000) session, LN uses the item code system that is defined in the current field. The item code system that you select in this field must be of the General type.

Note: The number of BOM levels must be one or higher.
