Symptoms

When a purchase order is created with What-if allocation functionality, and when using an item with SUPP_PACK_SIZE not equal to 1, the SUPP_PACK_SIZE value of the purchase order in the ORDSKU table is still defaulted to 1.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Find an item with the following attributes: ITEM_MASTER.STANDARD_UOM is "EA" (Each); ITEM_SUPP_COUNTRY.SUPP_PACK_SIZE not equal to 1; ITEM_SUPP_COUNTRY.DEFAULT_UOP is "C" (Case).
2. Create a What-if Allocation with the item from the previous step.
3. Fill out the necessary details for the allocation and click the "Calculate" button.
4. Go to "Manage Allocation" and reopen the previously created what-if allocation.
5. Click the "What-if Summary" button.
6. Set the PO type to Cross-dock, tick the checkbox beside the item, and select "Each" as the PO multiple.
7. Click Apply.
8. Click Preview Purchase Order (PO).
9. Click Create PO.
10. Open the created purchase order in Retail Merchandising System (RMS).
11. Click the "Item" button from the PO Header Maintenance screen.
12. Notice that the Order Qty is the same as the allocation qty, but the PO Multiple (Allocation Tool) and Unit of Purchase (RMS) are different.
13. The ORDSKU data of the purchase order has a SUPP_PACK_SIZE = 1.
