• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06294 - Order unit of requisition will be replaced by order unit from info record ?

  The SAP error message 06294, "Order unit of requisition will be replaced by order unit from info record," typically occurs in the context of purchasing and procurement processes. This message indicates that the order unit specified in a purchase requisition is being overridden by the order unit defined in the associated info record for the material or vendor.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Order Units: The order unit specified in the purchase requisition does not match the order unit defined in the info record for the material/vendor combination. The info record takes precedence in this case.
  Info Record Settings: The info record may have been set up with a different order unit than what was intended in the requisition.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may also have different units of measure defined, which can lead to confusion in the order unit.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Info Record: Check the info record for the material and vendor combination to see what order unit is defined. You can do this by navigating to the info record in SAP (Transaction ME13).
  Adjust the Purchase Requisition: If the order unit in the requisition is incorrect, you may need to adjust it to match the info record or vice versa, depending on your business requirements.
  Update the Info Record: If the info record's order unit is not appropriate, you can update it to reflect the correct order unit that should be used for the requisition.
  Check Material Master: Ensure that the material master data is consistent with the order units you want to use. You can check this in the material master (Transaction MM03).
  Consult with Procurement Team: If there are discrepancies or if you are unsure about which unit should be used, consult with your procurement or materials management team for guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Unit of Measure (UoM): Understand the different units of measure that can be defined in SAP, including base unit, order unit, and alternative units.
  Info Record Maintenance: Regularly maintain and review info records to ensure they are up-to-date and reflect the correct purchasing conditions.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users involved in creating purchase requisitions are trained on how to properly set order units and understand the implications of info records.
  
  By addressing the mismatch between the requisition and the info record, you can resolve the error and ensure that the procurement process runs smoothly.
