Quotation status overview Unit Basic Materual determination

Question

Hello,
We employ the technique of the material determination between the copy of a quotation to an order.
The alternative articles have all like basic unit PCE and sales unit M2.
The conversion ratios are not the same ones for each article.
For example for 1st article 1 m2 = 100 PCE, for second article 1 m2 = 25 PCE.
But the selling price in M2 is the same one for all the articles.
The material entered has the same basic unit and sales unit M2.
The completion rule for quotation is u201CB Item is completed after full quantity has been referencedu201D
When I create an order in reference with the quotation, the entered article is replaced by an article for example 1st list.
The quantity in the quotation is 100 m2 and the quantity in the order is 5 m2.
The item is automatically completed because the quantities calculated for the status of the item in the offer are false.
In the flow document the quantities are 500 PC in the base unit of measure or 5,00 M2 in the document unit of measure.
In the status overview for the item the status is u201CFully referencedu201D with 500,00 M2 referenced and 0,000 M2 open.
The system tries to convert in the basic unit but they are not the same ones between the entered article (M2) and the alternative article (PCE).
How to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards

Hello Frederic
For Material Determination to work properly, I think both the original material and the substitute should have the same Base Unit Of Measure, which is not the case in your example. I think that is  the issue here. You may have different sales Units and conversion factors, but the Base should be the same I guess. Try to address that issue.
Secondly in the condition record, You can maintain 'Susbstitute UOM',  maintain it with PCE and/or M2 and see if it helps.. I don't think it would.
See the OSS Note which explains how sales units work in material determination.
