Quantity Rounding In Sales Orders

Applies to:
SAP ECC 5.0 and above.

Summary:
In SAP ERP system, rounding profiles can be used to fulfill special rounding requirements during execution of various logistical processes. Typical rounding requirement during sales order processing is to have the required products automatically rounded up or down so that ordered quantity is always in exact multiples of required UOM. Rounding profiles can be configured in SAP ERP system to provide static or dynamic product rounding during sales order processing. However, using standard SAP configuration, only one rounding rule or profile can be applied to a product. This article outlines how SAP ERP system can be customized to meet a requirement where a product needs to be rounded differently for different customers based on business rules. Here, I have described required configuration, custom development and process of maintaining rounding profiles. Author: Amit Kokane

Quantity Rounding In Sales Orders

Example Process Scenario

Product X is set up with following units of measures: o Each (Base UOM) o Carton (Alternative UOM) = 12 Each o Palate (Alternative UOM) = 144 Each Customers are classified as Retail and Wholesale using a customer group field in customer master Sales orders for all customers are always entered and processed in base unit of measure Each Retail customers can only order product X in multiples of carton quantity Wholesale customer can only order product X in multiples of palate quantity For Retail customers If order quantity for product X is less than a carton quantity (less than 12 each) or not in exact multiples of carton quantity (12, 24, 36 etc.) then system should automatically round up the order quantity to meet the business requirement For Wholesale customers If order quantity for product X is less than a palate quantity (less than 144 each) or not in exact multiples of palate quantity (144, 288, 432 etc.) then system should automatically round up the order quantity to meet the business requirement

Enhancement Design
Use function Exit EXIT_SAPLMDR1_005 and enhancement MDR10001 During sales order processing, system will replace Dummy Rounding Profile ZDUM defined in Material Master with the appropriate rounding profile from Z table Additional processing logic can be used to ensure that this replacement does not happen if the Rounding Profile in the Material Master is NOT equal to dummy Rounding Profile ZDUM Processing Logic o Check if Material Master Rounding Profile CH_S_MVKE-RDPRF = Dummy Rounding Profile ZDUM if yes then continue else EXIT o Read Z table with Sales Organization (CH_S_KNVV-VKORG), Distribution Channel (CH_S_KNVV-VTWEG), Division (CH_S_KNVV-SPART) and Customer Group (CH_S_KNVV-KDGRP) o If an entry exists in Z table then populate field CH_S_RESULTS-RDPRF with Rounding Profile from Z table
