Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/772558 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses FAQs on quantity conversion and rounding within purchasing processes, especially in transactions such as ME21N. It clarifies how conversion factors between the order unit and the price unit in purchase orders are determined based on batch management specifics. If a batch has predefined conversion factors, these are applied; otherwise, material master settings are used. The note also indicates exceptions where the purchase order price unit might rely on conversion factors from a previous document. Restrictions and scenarios where SAP did not account for conversion factors in earlier transaction versions (ME21, ME22) are highlighted, directing users towards newer transactions (ME21N, ME22N) for accurate functionality. Additionally, rounding procedures are specified along with their dependence on underlying master data or custom user exits.
