Setting Up Quantity Precision and Rounding Rules
When you establish items and UOMs for the business, define quantity precision and rounding rules for use in system transactions and calculations. These rules govern the manner in which PeopleSoft applications process entered and calculated quantities.
To set up quantity precision and rounding rules:
-
Define quantity precision and rounding rules for the SetID.
On the Units of Measure page, which you access from the Define Items menu, specify whether quantities for each item-UOM combination should be expressed as whole numbers or as decimals.
If you specify a whole-number quantity precision, select a rounding rule (either round up or natural round) to indicate how calculated quantities should be rounded so that they result in whole numbers.
-
Define automatic rounding rules for UOM conversions.
On the Business Unit Related - Inventory Definition page, select an automatic rounding option to indicate whether the system should generate warning messages, generate error messages, or round quantities automatically during UOM conversions.
