In this blog I will cover an interesting topic regarding an Rounding Issue With The Reorder Quantity.
Following steps have been used to reproduce the issue:
1. Go to Inventory > Item Master > Create New Item Master >
Item "65843"
Order Units: Ton
Issue Units: Ton
Select action > Add Items to Storeroom " Central "
Click OK
Standard Cost: 35.00

Change status to Active
Save record.
2. Go to Inventory > Inventory > Item "65843"
Click the Reorder Detais Tab
Recorder: Tick check box
Reorder Point: 2.00
Lead Time (Days) 0
Economic Order Quantity 19.20

3. The Recorder Items Details show the following
Item: 65843
Reorder Quantity: 20.00
Order Unit: Ton
Current Balance: 0.00

The reorder quantity is calculated as 20.00
Resolving the problem
Maximo by design rounds up to the next Integer for the final Reorder Qty. The rounding to the next integer number was a design decision made
based on several use cases from the clients. This is Working as Designed.
