When generating a PO from SO & the Sales Unit of Measure is different than the Purchase Unit of Measure in Item Maintenance, the Sales Unit of Measure & Qty do not translate to the PO correctly. The PO will default to the Purchase Unit of Measure from Item Maintenance & round up to that unit of measure conversion. This will create a higher qty being sent to the customer.
Have an option during the PO Generation (& the Defaults) maintaining the same Qty & Unit of Measure on the SO, especially when drop ship.
The fix now is to remove the Purchase Unit of Measure in Inventory Maintenance, but that needs to remain for stock orders. Drop Ship orders should be treated differently.
