Setting the Round Up Quantity as Component Preference
Use the Round Up Quantity as Component Preference on a work order component quantity to round up in the units used on work order. Depending on your settings, the component yield calculation could result in a fractional quantity.
For example, a mountain bike assembly requires 2 units of the brake component. The component yield is 99%. To build 5 of these assemblies requires 10.1 units of the brake component. Because you can consume components only in whole numbers, you cannot consume 10.1 units. You need to round up to the next highest unit. For example, 11 brake component units.
On a work order for an assembly that uses component yield, NetSuite indicates the Component Quantity, BOM Quantity and Component yield for rounded-up components.
To set the Round Up Quantity as Component preference:
-
Create or edit an item record for an Inventory item or an Assembly item that is used as a sub-assembly component.
-
In the Purchasing/Inventory subtab Inventory Management section, do one of the following:
-
To enable NetSuite to round up the quantity consumed for this item, check the Round Up Quantity as Component box.
-
To prevent NetSuite from rounding up the quantity consumed for this item, clear this box.
-
When you check this option, the Quantity field on the Components subtab is disabled because this quantity is calculated by NetSuite.
Review your customization scripts before checking this box.
