This setup is used to define the rounding of the quantities ordered or requested in the purchase unit of the supplier when taking into account needs on order or purchase request.

This setup is used:

  • upon manual creation of an order line or purchase line in the buyer plan from the selected requirements,
  • upon creation of an order, from the order plans.

The possible roundings are the following:

  • Rounding to the nearest number: the quantity is rounded to the nearest integer or decimal depending on the decimalization of the unit;
  • Rounding down to the next decimal: the decimalization of the used order unit is taken into account. If there is no unit decimalization, the quantity is rounded to the lowest integer;
  • Rounding down to the next integer: the decimalization of the used order unit is not taken into account. The quantity is then rounded to the lowest integer in all cases;
  • Rounding up to the next decimal: the decimalization of the used order unit is taken into account. If there is no unit decimalization, the quantity is rounded to the highest integer;
  • Rounding up to the next integer: the decimalization of the used order unit is not taken into account. The quantity is then rounded to the highest integer in all cases;

If the rounding is set to zero, the authorized value the nearest to zero is selected, depending on the unit decimalization.

It is advised to define a rounding of the quantity to the highest decimal in order to systematically cover the need during the creation of a purchase request or purchase order by rounding the supplier purchase unit to the best.
