Hello,

Is it possible to have IFS plan/issue in minimum unit quantities?  For instance, PartA has inventory UoM in mL and is issued in mL, and it is only available in 1 mL increments.  So, if a shop order calls for < 1 mL of material, we want planning to see demand for 1 mL.  For example, if we need 0.6 mL for the shop order, we are going to open one of the 1 mL packages, use 0.6 mL, and ‘scrap’ the remaining 0.4 mL because it can not be used after the package is opened.  We don’t want Planning to ‘see’ demand for 0.6 mL on one shop order and demand for 0.4 mL on a 2nd shop order and think that we have enough material when, in fact, we would need 2 mL (2 x 1mL packages).  Since we are going to use 1 mL increments no matter what, we want planning to see demand in 1 mL increments and we want to issue in 1 mL increments.  Defining the UoM as each would be the best way to handle this, but is there a way to handle it in another UoM.

I you set the Qty Calc Rounding on the Inventory Part to 0, a demand of 0.6 ml will be rounded up to 1ml, and the Required Qty on the shop order material line will also be 1 ml. 

Thanks for the quick reply.  Would that method work if the increment size was not 1 mL?  Say, 0.5 mL or 0.25 mL.

@BJHnatkovich unfortunately not. It only rounds up the demand up to the selected number of decimals.
