Rounding to Sales Unit in GATP

[Former Member]

HI! All

We are in process of implementing GATP and we have a requirement of rounding the confirmed quantity in APO.

The standard Library says that it can be achieved provided you carryout availaibility check from CRM system & you should have ECC defence system.

We dont use CRM nor we have ECC defence.

Can rounding be achieved while carrying out availaibility form a normal ECC system.

Has any body tried it.

Please no links & theoritical answers.

Thanks in Advance

Hi Vibhav,

If it has to round to sale unit then maintain sales unit in the product master Sales org 1 tab and flag variable sales unit not allowed. Maintain the converstion (Additional unit of messures) for sales unit from Base unit.

Maintain Delivery unit and quantity in Sales org 1 tab. As your SD cosultant to maintain Log of incomplete data and assign it to item categories.

Hope this helps. Please Confirm.

Regards,

Kishore Reddy.

HI! kishore

thanks for your valuable time but my query is not to convert into sales unit but i want GATP to allocate stock in multiple of Cases.

Eg.

Product "A" has a case with 4 EA of product A

now requirement for product "A"is 30 & say it has a stock of 30 EA

standard GATP will allocate 30 EA to this order where as i want GATP to allocate 28 EA only so that i dont have to break my Case to service this requirement.

Hope u understand this

Thanks

Hi

To perform rounding successfully, you must make the settings described Bellow

Procedure

Settings for Rounding to Pack Sizes

Settings in SAP SCM

● Settings in SCM Basis

a.Define a number range for the packaging specification.

For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for SAP SCM under SCM Basis ® Packing ® Packaging Specification ® Define Number Range for Packaging Specification.

b.Make the following settings for determining packaging specifications:

i. Define a field catalog.

Note that you must transfer customer-specific fields to the field catalog for Global ATP. In addition, you must implement the Business Add-In (BAdI) /SAPAPO/ATP_RND for customer-specific fields.

ii. Define condition types for the PAK application and the PS usage. Create access sequences, accesses, and condition tables.

iii. Define a determination procedure.

For more information about determining packaging specifications, see the IMG for SAP SCM under SCM Basis ® Packing ® Packaging Specification ® Determination of Packaging Specifications.

● Settings in SAP APO

Define one or more packaging specifications. To define a packaging specification, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Advanced Planning and Optimization ® Global ATP ® Environment ® Packaging Specification ® Maintain Packaging Specification.

Make the following rounding settings for the packaging specification you created:

○ Header Information for the Packaging Specification

Choose one of the following rounding methods:

■ Pack-size-oriented rounding method

The pack-size-oriented rounding method rounds the demand to the next largest or next smallest pack size. Your settings for the packaging specification levels determine rounding.

■ Demand-quantity-oriented rounding method

The demand-quantity-oriented rounding method rounds the demand according to the rounding limits that you specify here. Enter the upper and lower rounding limit (as a percentage of the demand quantity or the monthly demand). The upper and the lower rounding limits are not related to the pack sizes.

Define the minimum quantity. This represents the smallest possible rounding result.

○ Contents of the Packaging Specification

Enter the product, the smallest quantity for the unit, and the unit of measure. The product is not the product to be checked; it is only a reference product for the calculation of the quantity.

○ Packaging Specification Levels

The levels of a packaging specification represent the different pack sizes for the product, such as package, box, and pallet.

i. Define one or more levels for the packaging specification.

ii. Specify which level is the smallest pack size.

iii. If you have chosen the pack-size-oriented rounding method, you can specify either the upper and lower rounding limit (as a percentage of the pack size) or the rounding direction for each level that you have defined after the level with the smallest pack size.

You can specify a rounding direction for the level that represents the smallest pack size, but not rounding limits.

If the demand quantity is smaller than the quantity that is contained in the smallest pack size, the system always rounds up (to the smallest pack size). Confirmed quantities can be rounded to zero.

Each additional pack size can only be defined as a multiple of the previous pack size. You can define 1, 10, and 30 as pack sizes in a packaging specification, for example, but not 1, 10, and 25.

● Settings in Global ATP

Create a check mode and specify the rounding procedure that you want the ATP check to use as a basis for rounding. In SCM Basis, you have defined the rounding procedure as the determination procedure.

Create check instructions and activate the rounding procedure. After you have activated the rounding procedure, Global ATP rounds according to the specified rounding procedure.

Settings for Rounding to Sales Units

Settings in SAP ECC

In Customizing for SAP ECC Enterprise Extension Defense Forces & Public Security (EA-DFP), activate rounding by setting the Only Complete. indicator. By using the advice code, you specify that only complete packs are to be delivered.

Settings in SAP SCM

Define sales units in the product master on the Units of Measure tab page. To call the product master, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Advanced Planning and Optimization ® Master Data ® Product ® Product.

Hi Vaibhav Sareen,

You have to modify the system to activate the rounding in APO system via packaging specifications. You need to activate the rounding in the check instructions and have to assgin a rounding procedure.

Starting the ATP check from a sales order in VA01:

You need to make sure that the

S_APOREQX[1]-ROUNDING is u201CXu201D when the BAPI_APOATP_CHECK is called, otherwise the rounding is not called in APO.

Userexit EXIT_SAPLATPC_001 might be used to change thisu2026

Please test this carefully as it is not supported offically. ECC might getting problems when APO return under- or overconfirmation so that the order might never be closed. Take care of that.

best regards,

Michael

Hi,

You can achieve this using calcultion profile in Rules.

If you have rounding active in ECC and calculation profile setup in SCM GATP then you do not need other IS modules.

eg. rounded order quantity in ECC is 40 pcs and confirmed order quantity for that product is either zero (if less than 40 pcs available) or 40 pcs if 40 or more than 40 are available.

Thanks,

Pavan Verma
