Example documentationRounding (With RBA - Not Enough Stock Available)

 

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

The following criteria apply:

Location

Package Unit

Rounding Rule

Available Stock

1000

6 pc/12 pc/18 pc

Round up

10 pc

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

Not enough stock is available.

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

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

    It creates a subitem for location 1000 (as a result of the rules-based availability check).

  3. For location 1000, the system rounds the 8 pieces up to 12 pieces. The system displays this in the subitem in the schedule line for the requested quantity, and summarizes it in the main item in the schedule line for the rounded requested quantity.

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

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

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