How to Manage Orders for Specific Lengths of Products in SAP?

[former_member696188]

I have a storage type that contains products managed in meters, such as rolls or belts. I need the system to check if an exact 10m belt is available when an order for 10m is placed. If not, the system should suggest cutting the required meters from a larger size belt. Additionally, the system should prioritize suggesting a complete 10m length rather than two separate pieces of belts (e.g. 5m and 5m).
Is it possible to meet this requirement using the standard SAP setup?

Hi Ajit,

We had similar requirement, unfortunately this cant be achieved with standard routing rules, we implemented BADI /SCWM/IF_EX_CORE_RMS_DETERMINE~DETERMINE to achieve this.

Hello,

1) Have you tried your use case with meters as either base unit of measure (BUoM) or as alternative Unit of measure (maybe also Stock keeping unit of mesure)?

Have you tried the rounding rules in the warehouse process type for your pick process? First suggestion: Round up/down to single unit of quantity

2) Is your requirement from a specific industry? Maybe an industry solution / add-on contains a best practice for that process...
