Function documentationStrategy: Preferred Unit of Measure Last Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

If you use this strategy, the system first proposes quants which do not have the preferred unit of measure (UoM) of the storage type from which you want to pick products. This strategy is important when using stock-specific units of measure (SUoMs).

The system compares the preferred UoM in the product's material master with the alternative UoM of the quants. If these UoMs are not the same, the system proposes the quant first. When you are working with SUoMs, the alternative UoM is set automatically in the quant during goods receipt posting.
