Rounding base requirement quantities of produciton orders

Hello,

We are using component scrap in BOMs for components that are tracked with EA as base unit of measure. This causes fractional requirement quantites for these components in MRP. Also in MB26 or MB1A we are facing fractional quantities. We do not want to post goods movements with fractional quantites for the materials that have EA as base UoM. Our requirement is to supply these transactions with quantities that are rounded to integers?

We tried using an alternative UoM that has 0 decimal places. In components' master data, we assigned these UoM to unit of issue. MRP seems to work fine, producing requirement quantities as integers. In produciton orders converted from planned orders, requirement quantites are also integers. Whereas in produciton orders created with CO01 and CO10, although unit of entry (ERFMG) is calculated with no decimals, base requirement quantity (BDMNG) is fractional and it is being used in transactions MB1A and MB26. At the point of goods issue, system exhibits an odd behaviour of showing the UoM as unit of issue but taking the quantity from base requirement quantity.

Entering a rounding value of 1 to these components did not work either.

We thought we could manipulate requirement quantities prior to kitting or during goods movement with the help of user exits. However for the sake of sticking with the standart we'd rather solve this problem with customization. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ozgen CANAN

Dear ,

Did you try "Decimal Placecs Rounding " option in SAP T-code CUNI -Unit Of Measure ? This basically help the number of decimal places to which this measurement unit should be rounded .

Just chek this option and come back

Regards

Thanks Jiaul,

The alternative UoM I explained before has decimal rounding value of zero. However this does not prevent base quantity to be fractional. Changing the decimal rounding value of EA to 0 is not applicable since it is being used widely. Changing directly the base UoM of components related with component scrap would not work either as far as I have read and according to the note 931971.
