• Key Concepts: 
  Rounding procedure is a feature of the Global Available-to-Promise (ATP) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It allows users to round off the quantity of a product that can be promised to a customer based on the available stock. This helps to ensure that customers are not over-promised and that stock levels are managed accurately. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The rounding procedure can be enabled in the ATP configuration settings. Once enabled, the system will automatically round off the quantity of a product that can be promised to a customer based on the available stock. The user can specify the rounding factor, which is the number of decimal places used for rounding. For example, if the rounding factor is set to two decimal places, then any quantity with more than two decimal places will be rounded off to two decimal places. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the rounding factor is set correctly in order to avoid over-promising or under-promising customers. It is also important to note that the rounding procedure only applies when there is insufficient stock available for a customer's order. If there is sufficient stock available, then no rounding will take place.
