Quantity Rounding in Sales Orders

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.

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
