Baseline Item Data (Invoice)

RequiredMax use 1

To specify the basic and most frequently used line item data for the invoice and related transactions

Usage notes

3M allows different units of measures for the quantity shipped and for the price. 3M considers the price in the CTP03 as the PO price. The quantity in the PO102 is the quantity in the shipping unit of measure. The quantity in the CTP04 is the quantity in the pricing unit of measure.
If necessary the vendor can calculate the price in shipping unit of measure using the following formula:
Price in shipping uom = ((CTP03/CTP07) x CTP04) / PO102
Example:
Outbound PO: PO10001010EABP7000138216**RPCT060921468~ CTPUCP22.2310ASSEL5~
Calculation:
Price in shipping uom = ((CTP03/CTP07) x CTP04) / PO102
= ((22.23 / 5) x 10) / 10 = $4.446 EA
Example: IT100010240EA40*BP0000000071VPVENDORSKUUK04710367340423* MGMFG_PARTRP*23344~
