• Key Concepts: 
  Rounding tolerance interval is a setting in SAP's Global Available-to-Promise (GATP) component of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It is used to define the amount of rounding that is allowed when calculating the available quantity of a product. This setting helps to ensure that the available quantity is accurate and that it does not exceed the actual quantity available.
  
  How to use it: 
  The rounding tolerance interval can be set in the GATP configuration. To do this, go to the GATP configuration screen and select the “Rounding Tolerance Interval” option. Enter the desired value for the rounding tolerance interval and save your changes. This setting will then be applied to all calculations of available quantity in GATP.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the rounding tolerance interval, it is important to consider how much accuracy is needed for your calculations. If you need very precise calculations, then you should set a lower value for the rounding tolerance interval. However, if you only need a rough estimate of available quantity, then you can set a higher value for the rounding tolerance interval.
