rounding of the packing material.

[Former Member]

Dear GURUs,

we are using automatic packing proposal in sales order.But we want the rounding of the packing material to take place if the order quantity is less which is maintained in the packing instructions.

please suggest what settings has to be done so that the rounding of the packing material can be used for rounding of crates in sales order packing proposal

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Are u seen in POP1 or POP2,

There is column as Rounding quantity under components tab

Rounding qty

Serves mainly for building layers.

You can use the rounding quantity to ensure that a layer is completely filled, in order, for example, to prevent possible damage in transit.

Use

The system checks that the rounding quantity is respected when it determines the packing status. In your packing status check profile, you enter whether a handling unit can be created despite falling short of the rounding quantity or not.

Examples

If you want to pack a pallet with four boxes per layer, enter four as rounding quantity and specify in the packing status check profile that handling units that fall short of the rounding quantity are faulty. If there are not enough boxes to fill up a layer, the other boxes then remain unpacked.

This means that the pallet remains stackable and easier to handle throughout the shipping process.

Hi kapil,reazuddin,

thanks for the reply.

we have packing proposal at sales order.and also require the packing to happen in the decimals.

for example: pack instrctns: mat A - 1 crate = 10 qty

mat B - 1 crate = 10 qty

mat C - 1 crate = 10 qty

Now when we take order say mat A -10,mat B-5 ,mat C-5 .as we have maintained the packing instructions the propsed packing shown is 3 crates.

But as the mat B and MatC are only 5 qty each.we send both materials in one crates so finally we send 2 crates for that particular order.

Now during taking the sales order we require becuse we can ask for more order from the customer as the vehicle is sent with the full crate capacity.order taking and dispatch persons are different.

we have a tab for rounding quantity in the packing instruction but is greyed out.we also know that there is a packing status profile 01 as sap standard.

But what settings are to be done for the calculation of the crates based on the order quantity and not exactly from the packing instructions

Please suggest

Thanks

Hope you have read the help of field "Rounding qtty" in packing instructions- POP1,

If you want to pack a pallet with four boxes per layer, enter four as rounding quantity and specify in the packing status check profile that handling units that fall short of the rounding quantity are faulty. If there are not enough boxes to fill up a layer, the other boxes then remain unpacked.

This means that the pallet remains stackable and easier to handle throughout the shipping process.

Can you provide your requirement with an eg;- if possible, will give clear idea.
