Sales Order Unit of Measure

sales order units of measure

Note: 
  • If the physical quantities length, area, or volume are defined for the item's sales unit, you can enter its corresponding measurements in the Item Dimensions (tdsls4811s000) session. The Item Dimensions (tdsls4811s000) session is automatically started when you enter order lines in the Sales Order (tdsls4100m900) session. The unit in which the measurements are entered must be linked to the physical quantity length.
  • If you do not set this parameter, the item measurements are not retrieved when you enter order lines.
Default Alternative Item Code System

You can enter items in the Sales Quotation Lines (tdsls1501m000) session, the Sales Contract Lines (tdsls3501m000) session, or the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session using an alternative item code system. For example, you can enter a specific business partner's item code or the general standard (= EAN) code. LN converts this code into an 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 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 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.
