I know there are several other posts out here on this subject, but I have read most of them and tried applying their solutions but to no avail....I still have the problem.
Here's the situation. We use IPO (Individual Purchase Orders) process in SAP to take a Customer Order that then generates a Purchase Requisition. This Req has quantity in lbs. That's the material's base unit of measure. We send the resulting Purchase order to the vendor, however, in KG. So when the req is converted to a PO, the Quantity is converted from LBS to KG's. This process works fine except I get the rounding error.
In this case, for example, the order quantity is 1000.0 lbs. That appears on the order and on the Req. When I convert to a PO, the Quantity is converted to 453.500 KG and the error mentioned above appears as well as "PO quantity smaller than requisition quantity." These are really just warnings as opposed to hard errors so it lets me continue.
I tried changing the field "Decimal pl. rounding" under CUNI for both LBS and KG's. They were both set to 1 to start with. I incremented each one up to 10 but I still got the error. I even set both of them to 99 but still got the error. On the KG UoM detail screen, I incremented "Decimal Places" from 1 to 10 and still got the error. On the MRP 1 screen on the Material there is no Rounding Profile nor Rounding Value. Both fields there are blank.
I don't know what else to try. It seems like the field "Decimal pl. rounding" is the right field for this, but it seems to have no effect.
Can anyone help on this one?
