How to handle infinite decimal in BOM?

42 Views

Dears,

For example, a piece of component A (material A) can be assembly to 6 pieces of material B (BOM B), because 1/6 is a infinite decimal, so we may define assembly quantity in BOM B to 1/6=0.166667 for consuming material B.

But this will make logical consuming quantity of component A bigger than physical consuming quantity. (0.166667 > 0.166666666...)

It becomes 1 piece of component A is not enough to assembly to 6 pieces of material B in SAPME.

Even we define assembly quantity in BOM B to 0.166666, it become always left a little bit of component A in logical data.

The logical and physical data are always not equal.

How to handle this kind of problem in SAPME?

Thanks!
