Round values

If the Round Values check box in the EP Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session is selected, LN rounds all quantities in a planning run.

The rounding is based on the unit's rounding factor.

Generally, you must use rounding to ensure that quantities are whole numbers. For example, to avoid an order for 2.5 light bulbs, which would make no sense, you set the rounding factor for that item's inventory unit to 1.0.

The rounding of quantities can reduce the system performance of a planning run by over 10 %.

Recommendation:

  • If you are confident that you do not require rounded quantities, for example, if the planning run is only a simulation, clear the Round Values check box.
