Rounding Profile not recognized when added on info record

[Former Member]

Hello,

I've searched the forums but havent found a viable answer yet... I configured a rounding profile to round to 100 when qty is over 1... When I assign this value on the material master, generate demand for 11 and run MRP, this profile is recongized and the SA release is listed at 100.

However, when I remove this from the material master and add it on the inforecord and run through the same process, the SA release is set to 11, not 100. I cant seem to figure out what the data is not being recongized on the info record. The validately periods all match, and source list is setup ...

I'm trying to determine if there is some custom development preventing this, but wanted to check to make sure there isnt another setting or config item I'm missing. I know for planned delivery time, there is a setting to take data from inforecord vs material master, but dont see anything on rounding profile.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi James,

The rounding in the info record is only kicking in when you are converting a PR into a PO.

If you want to have this working with scheduling agreements you have to add it into the scheduling agreement.

The info record data is not ready when running MRP for schedule lines.

I fact the info record is only used if it exists at the moment of adding the material to the scheduling agreement. Once the data is ready and the scheduling agreement is saved the data in the scheduling agreement becomes independent data (exception is for consignment).

Create a purchase requisition for let say 11 pcs for this material and perform source determination for the vendor for which you have the info record. Once you then do the conversion to the PO you will see the rounding profile kicking in.

Regards,

Peter

PS - 1. The planned delivery time is also copied from the info rec into the SA, then the SA planned delivery time is the one that is used for MRP.

You can check this by changing the planned delivery time in the scheduling agreement and then running MRP. After that change the planned delivery time in the info rec and you will notice that the MRP results will not change.

Here the same principle applies in that once the data is read from the info rec into the SA and the SA is saved then the SA data becomes independent data.

PS - 2. If you try to use dynamic rounding profiles you will see that this is not working at all with scheduling agreements. The dynamic rounding profiles are only working with info rec + pur req/PO

Thanks for the response Peter,

I thought maybe that could be the case, but where in the SA (via ME33L) is the round profile? I searched under the item detail and also item - more function - additonal data  and do not see it...

Hi James,

In the SA you don't have the rounding profile field. It uses the data from the material master.

So having a different rounding per SA is at least to my knowledge not possible using SA's.

James using the SA together with a quota arrangement you can have the rounding profile kicking in per material vendor combination.

In the quota arrangement you can enter the rounding profile

If you only have a single source you just enter 100 as the quota

Thanks Peter for the explaination... I was awaring of quota arrangements but never realized round profile was a field on it...

I will try that approach as it does seem like its the only process which will work.

Thanks !
