Question on BOM Component Demands in Multiples

88 Views

I have a question on component quantities in a BOM. Can a BOM calculate the demand and then round up to the nearest multiple of a predetermined amount for an individual component?

Example :

Parent A - Qty 1_

Component B - qty 1

Component C u2013 qty 2

Component D u2013 qty 4

If I have an order for 10 Au2019s and component D comes in multiples of 12, but is setup as each, can the BOM produce a requirement for 48 instead of 40? If so, would this be setup in the BOM or Material Master for the component? Also parent A has fluctuating demand and component D is used in multiple parent items.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
