Definition

This field shows the order unit (in the purchasing view) and the sales unit (in the sales view) of the material. If you leave this field blank, the system automatically defaults the material's order unit according to the material master.

The role of this unit of measure in dynamic rounding depends on the dynamic rounding profile method:

  1. No rounding (method 0):
    No rounding is performed and therefore the order/sales unit has no effect in this method.
  2. Rounding to multiple order/sales units (method 1):
    Rounding is always to a multiple of the order/sales units.
  3. Rounding to order/sales units and to logistics units (method 2) or to OUM, SUn or LOGUoM, zero quantity only for OUM (method 3):
    The rounding rule application ends - at the latest - when the rounding rule for the order/sales UoM is used. If this is not used either, then the system rounds to a multiple of the order/sales UoM.

Example

In the alternative UoM field, you entered PC. In the field, order/sales UoM, you entered CAR. And in the single value field, you entered 26. The conversion factors for the UoM that is allowed are: 1 CAR = 12 PC, 1 PAL = 15 CAR.

The following rounding values are produced by the rounding method.

  1. Method 0:
    The rounding is to 12 PC.
  2. Method 1:
    The rounding is to 3 CAR.
  3. Method 2/3:
    If the rounding rules are defined as follows:

    CAR: round down = 10%, round up = 70%
    PAL: round down = 10%, round up = 70%.

    The rounding rule for PAL is checked: 18 PC < 26 PC < 126 PC => rule is not used.
    So the rounding rule for CAR: 1.2 PC < 2 PC < 8.4 PC => rule is not used.
    As CAR is the order/sales UoM, and no rounding rule could be used, the system rounds up to a multiple of CAR, which is therefore 3 CAR. If you had entered PAL as the order/sales UoM, the quantity would have been rounded up to 1 PAL.
