Explain Rounding Profile In MRP

Can you explain rounding profile in mrp.

You can customize the Rounding Profile in OWD1

Rounding profile - Key that the system uses to adjust the order proposal quantity to deliverable units. 

In Customizing, enter a threshold value from which the system should round up to the next value per deliverable unit: 

- If the requirements value exceeds the first threshold value, the system always rounds up to the next multiple of the level found 

- If the requirements value falls below the first threshold value, the system copies the original requirements value. 

Two other types of rounding exist: 

- Dynamic rounding profile: 

These profiles are used to round up quantities to logistical units of measure (for example, layers). The contents of a logistical unit of measure does not have to be know when creating the rounding profile. It is determined by the master data from the material master. 

- Rounding profile with quantity to be added/subtracted 

With these profiles, the given quantity is changed either by adding a percentage or subtracting a percentage. 

Only static rounding profiles are taken into account in requirements planning. Neither dynamic rounding profiles not quantity addition/subtraction are taken into account. 

Examples :

A material's base unit of measure is 1 unit; the purchase order is to be delivered in layers (1 layer corresponds to 5 units) or in pallets (1 pallet corresponds to 8 layers which contains 40 units). 

You maintain the profile as follows: 

From a requirements of 2 units, the system is to round up to 5; from a requirement of 32 units, the system is to round up to 40. 

This results in the following order proposal quantities: 

Requirement from 1 -> 1  requirement from 31 -> 30 

Requirement from 2 -> 5  requirement from 32 -> 40 

Requirement from 6 -> 10 requirement from 74 -> 80 

Requirement from 7 -> 10 

If no rounding profile has been entered, the system uses the rounding value entered in the material master record for the planning run.
