Edit units of measure

Additional details for units of measure can be defined here. The window can be called up from SAP B1 unit of measure > right-click > Extended or via beas units of measure list > extended.

This is an extension of SAP B1; no deletion is possible. To delete, use SAP Business One – units of measure.

Field

Description

UoM Code

Name code of the unit of measure.

Identifier field: some special characters are not allowed identifier fields. See message numbers – special characters, space

UoM Name

Name of the unit in singular form(can be used for report printouts)

UoM Name Plural

Name of the unit in plural form (can be used for report printouts)

No. decimal places

In Beas, numbers are always formatted according to the Windows settings (Control Panel > Regional Settings), since all beas fields are input fields conforming to Windows.

Important: This is not a rounding for calculation. These settings are used for display purposes only. Therefore, if the number of decimal places has been set to 4 digits in Beas, but it has been set to 2 digits in SAP Business One, then 4 digits are displayed on the screen, but the transaction is posted using only 2 digits.

Example:

kg = 2 decimal places

Inventory = 1.523 kg, in beas area an inventory of 1.52 kg is displayed

Inventory = 1.553 kg, in beas area an inventory of 1.56 kg is displayed

It is a pure display setting in beas forms. beas essentially works with 6 decimal places and posts with the number of decimal places configured in SAP > Administration > System > General Settings > Display under Decimal Places.

Rounding

This defines the Rounding Method for

•	MRP run for the primary forecast requirement

•	external purchase order (field quantity), (beas 9.3 PL 1)

Planning decimal places

Note:

The available rounding types are:

•	Rounding at .5

•	Round up: always round up

•	Round off: always round down

•	No rounding

Forecast Scheduling Example:

Scheduling: 50 pieces are scheduled for the current month and today is the 20th day of the month.

Results in a requirement of 50 : 30 days/month * 20 = 33.3333

When planning decimal places, the number of decimal places is specified and the type of rounding is specified during rounding.

Rounding Examples:

Requirement 33.33 with 1 decimal place

Commercial: 33,3

round up: 33,4

round down: 33,3

Requirement 33.45 with 0 decimal places

Commercial 34.0

Round up 34.0

Round down 33.0

BOM default rounding

BOM items can be stored in any unit of measure. A rounding definition can be stored in BOMs. Here you can specify the rounding default to be used for this unit of quantity when creating a new BOM position.

Rounding affects the total result – computed per warehouse unit, not per piece or consumption unit.

Example

Requirement 0,03 per piece
Rounding: multiple = 1

Production: 30 pieces = 0,03 = 30 = 0,9
Requirement = multiple of 1 = 1 Pcs

Available rounding methods:

commercial

round up

round down

multiple of

no rounding

Requirement 33.33 1 decimal

commercial : 33.3

round up: 33.4

round down: 33.3

Requirement 33.45 0 decimal

commercial 34.0

round up 34.0

round down 33.0

Compute multiples

Multiple = 1

0.5 = 1
0.7 = 1
1.1 = 2

Multiple = 2

0.5 = 2

0.7 = 2

1.1 = 2

2.0 = 2

2.1 = 4

BOM default decimal places / multiple of

Defines the decimal place to be set per inventory unit, not per piece or consumption unit. If "multiple of" is selected, the factor is specified here.
