Use
In this IMG activity you can define the rounding strategy for each material and supplying plant combination.
In case the pull distribution proportional to the demand strategy is used for a combination of supplying plant and material, and there is enough stock available to cover all demands, it is assumed that the order quantities are already rounded and no further consideration of rounding values will be necessary.
In case one of the distribution strategies is used or a fair share rule is applied because of a shortage situation, it will be necessary to carry out a rounding of the calculated distribution quantities.
Three rounding strategies are offered:
- ERP rounding strategy
Rounding rules defined in Customizing for ERP. The rounding is done completely in the corresponding ERP system.
- Rounding value strategy
Rounding value is assigned to the recipient/material combination. When you use this strategy, the distribution quantity will always be rounded up using the rounding value from the combination of recipient/material from the ERP system. If no rounding value is maintained for a recipient/material combination (for example, if the recipient is a customer), then the order unit of the material will be used instead.
In the first step, the available quantity will be distributed exactly. In the second step, the calculated quantity will be rounded off by considering the rounding value from the material/recipient combination (in case of customer locations, from the material/supplying plant combination). The difference between the exact and the rounded value will be added up to calculate the remaining quantity. This remaining quantity will be determined in the last step.
The remaining quantity can only be distributed as multiples of the rounding value for every recipient. The distribution will not be carried out exactly, but the rounding value strategy will be used for rounding off quantity. The sequence for the distribution of single rounding values to the recipients will be determined using the ratio between the already confirmed and rounded quantity in the second step and the exact quantity which was calculated in the first step. If the rounding value of the concerning recipient/material combination is bigger than the remaining quantity, the algorithm will continue with the next recipient in the list. The algorithm will finish when the remaining quantity is completely deployed or if the remaining quantity becomes less than the minimum rounding value of all recipients.
- Order unit rounding strategy
For this rounding strategy, the same algorithm is used as described above with the only difference being the use of the order unit instead of the rounding value.
Additionally, you are able to define your own rounding strategy by implementing the ROUNDING method of the FIP_BADI_DISTR_STRAT BAdI.
