RE: Browser Calcalation

This would be a couple of  steps, try a subset on the reqs based on OPC etc.  
Use mass change to shift the qty to the right (1,2,or 3 decimals).  Use mass 
change to return the qty back same decimals.
 
Another would be to use mass change to change a user field and have the user 
exit modify the qty.  User exit could also blank out user field before actual 
record is updated.

        The specific issue is the quantity on the purchase requistion 
calculated in the MAPICS re-order function. MAPICS is calculating a re-order 
quantity of with a decimal of .001 because MAPICS ROP does not allow for 
re-reordering up to a FOQ of zero.  For example, on an item, the OPC=C and the 
FOQ=.001, when inventory is zero and an allocation drives the available to -2  
MAPICS re-order will calculate a re-order quantity of 2.001. The order quantity 
should be 2 not 2.001.  If the OPC=C and the FOQ=.001 and the Mult=1, the 
reorder quantity will be 3. The order quantity should be 2 not 3. 
        
        So, we are looking for a way to change the requisition quantity, in the 
requisition file, from the calculated 2.001 to 2.000.
        
        Hope this help is understanding what we are trying to do.
