Example: Rounding (With RBA - Not Enough Stock in Location 1000) 

 

The following example illustrates how the results of rounding quantities are displayed in the sales order.

The following criteria apply:

 

Location	Package Unit	Rounding Rule	Available Stock
1000	6 pc / 12 pc / 18 pc	Up	10 pc
2000	5 pc / 10 pc / 15 pc	Up	20 pc

 

The availability check includes a rules-based ATP check (RBA).

In this example, not enough stock is available in location 1000.

 

 

...

       1.      The requested quantity for the sales order item is 8 pc.

       2.      The system carries out location determination and determines location 1000.

It creates a subitem for location 1000.

       3.      For location 1000, the system rounds the 8 pc up to 12 pc.

       4.      Only 10 pc are available. Therefore, the availability check can only confirm 10 pc.

       5.      The system rounds the 10 pc down to the next package unit, which is 6 pc.

       6.      The requested quantity is higher than the confirmed quantity. Therefore, there is an outstanding requirement of 2 pc.

       7.      The system carries out location determination and determines location 2000.

It creates a subitem for location 2000.

       8.      For location 2000, the system rounds the remaining requirement of 2 pc up to 5 pc. Therefore, the requested quantity is 5 pc.

The requested quantities for both subitems (12 and 5) are accumulated in the rounded requested quantity schedule line of the main item.

       9.      As a result of the availability check, the system can confirm all 5 pc.
