Rounding off of requirements

[former_member587725]

Dear guru's,

I'm trying to find a way to round off required quantity's originating from a process order.

For example: the base qty of material X-1 is 4,500PC. In order to produce material X-1, I need 4,500PC of 2 components: X-2 and X-3.

In the BOM, alternative UoM "ROL" is used for material X-2. 1ROL equals 250PC, so in case I will produce 4,500PC of material X-1, I need 18ROL.

Now, in case in will e.g. produce 4,510PC of material X-1, I want MRP to plan 19ROL, not 18.040ROL.

Can you please advise how to achieve this?

Tom

PS: Decimal rounding in transaction CUNI is set to "0" and the Unit of Issue on tab Plant data / storage 1 is set to "ROL". This results in a Unit of Entry of 19ROL but the requirement quantity remains 18.040ROL (table RESB). I want this to become 19ROL as well.

Hi Tom,

Instead of rounding the requirement, you can round up the replenishment proposals created by MRP. You can add a rounding value in the material master or a rounding profile.

Hi Caetano,

Thanks for your reply!

This solution is working perfectly when decimal rounding of the base UoM is set to "0" and the base UoM is used as unit of issue as well. When the base UoM is set to e.g. rounding of 3 decimals and an alternative UoM with 0 decimals is used as unit of issue, it isn't working the way I want it to. Is there a way to fix this?

My last resort is to create new materials with the base UoM with 0 decimal rounding, but this is not a solution I desire as it concerns 100+ materials with 250+ BoM entries.

Thanks!

Tom
