Requirements for decimals of pieces

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hello all,

I have to include in BOMs components such in this way:

- base unit of measure: pieces

- quantity in BOM: 0,20 piece x 1 finished product quantity

this means 1 piece of the component will be "consumed" every 5 pieces of finished product.

The goal is to plan the component in pieces but to consume it in decimals. Rounding should be done only at planning level.

The problem is that "pieces" does not allow decimals. I've tried to put decimal pieces in BOM but the system roundes them.

Even if I create a new UM similar to pieces with decimals (PZZ), since it is not the base unit of measure, the system does not consider requirements in this second UM but in base one. (I've maintained Material Master for component, MRP views and Scheduling with the new UM).

Any tip?

Hi Emanuela

Go to t-code CUNI and allow decimal places for pieces in the detailed screen . u can say till how many u want to allow decimals sys allows u up to 14dec.

Hello Prasad,

I've tried to change "piece" unit of measure but the fields for decimals can not be changed, I don't know why.

Hi Sushas,

you mean to change base unit of measure in Material Master?

This is the last solution I considered, because it means I should perform several "heavy" activities in the system, like put stock at 0, close all documents for the involved materials (the system is already "on"), erase them and re-create them with the new base unit of measure..

before going in this direction, I prefer to check if there are other ways..

Dear Nue,

Are you trying this in the production client? You are supposed to do it in the development client and transport it.

Check it out.

Hi Kiki,

of course I've tried in development environment! I cannot transport anything in production one if it does not work.

Maybe there are some restrictions in the development environment... I will check it.

Kaki is right, ur clint may not be open for configuration. Pls transport from developement or ask basis to open client.

Dear Nue,

Maintain the Bom Base quantity as 5 in the Bom header. In the child component details maintain as 1 piece. Thereby, the system understands that for every piece of the child component, 5 pieces of header material can be produced.

Hope this answers ur query.

Hello Kiki,

I forgot to write... my client does not want to change base quantity in BOM header (internal policy).

Dear Nue,

In that case you can activate decimal places for the UoM pieces in config using TC CUNI.

But ideally pieces should not be in decimals. It is not exactly quantitative like 10cms or .5 mts. Meaning a 0.5 peice can be anything or 0.7 piece can be any dimension. This is just my 2 cents of thought. See whether u can convince him or else u have the solution

Hi Kiki,

I know what u mean, but even if I've told them it's a little bit "creative" this solution, they want it the same.

Thank you for the tip
