If you need CASE as a basic unit, please create it in configuration. Set the materials with BUOM EA and alternate unit CAS or CSE however you create it.

Dear Paul Massey

Thank you for your advice. I added more information to give more information from you. The smallest unit of our product is one piece (one bottle for sympoo/conditionor, one cake for soap, one pack for sanitary product). But shipping unit and production unit is case. So I want to set BUOM is piece and alternate unit is case (1 case is 24 piece). But I could not find the UOM in SAP standard and I understood EA of SAP standard is meaning the piece. So I will use EA for our product. But I found the message "Never set EA as base unit for something that can be divided and consumed in smaller quantities" in this bulletin board. I wanted to know the reason. What does meaning NEVER SET EA as BUOM?
