    I read that you can use the po13.3 detail area to specify the BUOM for a vendor and it will override the ic11 record, but I have been trying to test in stage by putting in an incorrect BUOM and it will return a decimal point.   It seems like this will lower the uom errors that are returned when an order edi's if an error is returned to the user.  Has anyone had any luck in using this function, or know of a stop gap for when an invalid BUOM is entered into the system for an order?

      The vendor buy uom on PO13.3 is the same as on PO13.1. It can be used to default a different buy uom for a specific vendor when IC11 has a different default buy uom. We do this for a few items. But for most items we have only one uom set as a valid buy uom (the uom on the agreement for the most part). For the items that are ordered via EDI if you do this your requesters can't change the uom to one that will error out on the supplier's side.
