RE: maximum number of decimals for the stockkeeping unit is 0

You have the options to set up for Ax to always round to a full unit., or change the UoM to a smaller UoM - or extend the number of decimals displayed.

Hi Faisal,

I am trying to resolve the same issue. I am trying to firm the planned batch order and getting same error with one of the component from the formula line. Can you elaborate with navigation where you make changes in the system to fix the issue.

Regards

Deepanshu

RE: maximum number of decimals for the stockkeeping unit is 0

A scenario causing this (debugging the process/requirement): I use 4 items (eg a roll or pallets used for packing) on average for 3 BOM-items. Theoretically I use 1.33 (BOM-qty) but in reality it is always an even No so that is what I want to have in my stock balance. Allowing decimals would be an acceptable but approximate way (for us, at least it leads to less total stock deviations than settning No of decimals = 0 for unit 'pcs'). On the other hand it is not desirable for other 'pcs' units (and it is counter-intuitive).

How would you do?

RE: maximum number of decimals for the stockkeeping unit is 0

I found the reason, item which I found is component of BOM. this item was having decimal in current free stock, however its UMO is PCS which is having 0 value for decimal. while starting production order system is calculating final stock qty for item and it finds decimals and it does not allow and through error message. I have removed decimals from current free stock qty and it works

Hi Nitesh,

When you don't know what is wrong because you don't have knowlegde about certain parts of AX or don't understand certain business processes you can indeed do some debugging. In this case you will find a BOM journal entry having a quantity with decimals. Wow! That is something I already know from my knowledge.

In this case I would like to understand what type of product it is and why there is a setup on the BOM of consuming 101.25 per 100 while the product is setup as whole pcs.

When this is clear, I can suggest what to do. And not just giving a suggestion without knowing the impact in the manufacturing part of AX.

Hi Faisal,

It seems Mr. Andre don't like to do debugging

so let me ask you few question related to your scenario

* For which Item you are getting this error message, whether it is FG or BOM line Item, if BOM line Item please specify UOM of BOM line

* When you are starting the production order, whether you are starting it for full (6704) or it is partial

Appreciated if you provide these information

Hi Faisal,

Can you indicate what type of item is consumed in the BOM? It is now consuming 101.25 per 100 FG. The 0,25 will cause the rounding. Is it an item which is related to weight or length? Or is the 101.25 inclusing some scrap? When the previous order was posted with succes on a quantity of 3549 it should also had a rounding difference.

Are you posting the BOM journals with help of backflushing? Perhaps you can post them manual and first round the quantity yourself.

You don't need to debug. With answering these questions, the business will be clear.

I suggest you should debug through this method why an Item with PCS UOM is getting quantity in decimals
