Bill of Material - automatic rounding of amounts based on order amount

63 Views

Hi all,

we are working in our production with materials that cannot be split like cardboards, pallets, etc.

Our IE defines the optimal amount of finished parts that should bo into a cardboard and based on that they set up the cardboard consumption per finished part(Example: ideally 12 parts fit into one cardboard, so the BOM for finished product says you need for 1 piece 1/12 of cardboard). Our customer however order various amounts of the same product, but we need always a whole cardboard even though the BOM might say we need as an example for 8 piece order that you need 8/12 of cardboard. With this we are creating constant loss.


Therefore the question is if it is not possible to set up the BOM for specific materials that it always when an order is triggered rounds up specific materials to the next whole number.

Thanks for you help and wish you a pleasant day.
