How to Allow Finished Item Quantities in Decimals in Assembling?
In this tutorial, we will learn how to use the Allow Finished Item Quantity in Decimals feature in the Assembling Module of Logic ERP. This feature enables users to enter finished item quantities in decimal values, allowing accurate production entries for items measured in units such as kilograms, liters, or meters.
Objective of This Feature
Allow decimal quantities for finished items.
Support production of fractional quantities.
Automatically recalculate component quantities.
Improve accuracy for weight and volume-based manufacturing.
Simplify assembling transactions.
Access to the Assembling Configuration
Go to the Assembling Module.
Open the Configuration window.
Locate the option labeled as:
"Allow Finished Item Quantity in Decimals"
By default, this option is disabled.
Observe the Default Behavior
Before enabling the feature, let's understand the default behavior.
Create a New Assembling document.
Select the Finished Item.
Enter the Finished Item Quantity as 1.5.
Result
Since the feature is disabled, the system does not allow decimal values for the Finished Item Quantity and restricts the entry.
Let's Enable the Feature
Return to the Configuration window.
Enable the option: "Allow Finished Item Quantity in Decimals"
Save the configuration.
Create a New Assembling Entry
Create a New Assembling document.
Select the same Finished Item.
Enter the Finished Item Quantity as 1.5.
Result
The system now accepts the decimal quantity successfully.
In addition, the required Component Quantities are automatically recalculated based on the entered Finished Item Quantity.
Key Benefits
Supports decimal production quantities.
Ideal for weight, volume, and length-based products.
Automatically recalculates component consumption.
Improves production accuracy.
Reduces manual calculations during assembling.
Best Practice Tips
Enable this feature for products measured in units such as kilograms, liters, or meters.
Verify the Bill of Materials (BOM) to ensure component quantities are calculated correctly.
Review the recalculated component quantities before saving the document.
Use decimal quantities only where fractional production is operationally required.
Final Outcome
After enabling Allow Finished Item Quantity in Decimals, Logic ERP allows finished item quantities to be entered in decimal values during Assembling transactions. The system automatically recalculates the required component quantities based on the entered quantity, ensuring accurate material consumption and efficient production management.
