The new feature in BC 21 that uses the quantity rounding precision on item units of measure to determine the rounding component need calculations, for example in refreshing the planning line, should not throw an error when calculating small or near zero quantities of components.
This is also true for refreshing a production order. calculating output or consumption journals

I also have a problem with that field 'quantity rounding precision' on the item UOM page.
example 1:
if base UOM = PCS and the other UOM = KG and there are 6 pcs in a KG than this is the setup
CODE QTY PER UOM
----------------------------------
PCS 1
KG 6
When I set the 'quantity rounding precision' to 1, and I purchase 3 KG which is 0.5 pcs (OK in know this is a bad example) than I will receive 1 pcs because of the rouding precision of 1.
But it doesn't work the other way around.
example 2:
if base UOM = PCS and the other UOM = KG and there are 6 Kg in a piece than this is the setup
CODE QTY PER UOM
----------------------------------
PCS 1
KG 0.16667
When I set the 'quantity rounding precision' to 1, because I want to purchase 96 KG which is 16.00032 pcs (OK in know this is a bad example) than I want to receive 16 pcs because of the rouding precision of 1.
Or I want to purchase 97 KG which is 16.16699 pcs than I also want to receive 16 pcs because of the rouding precision of 1.
But this is not possible. the field qty rounding precision only allows me to enter a 5 decimal number. 0.00001 becase 0.16667 has also 5 decimals. But I would think that this quanty rounding precision is onbly to round into the base UOM, because this is the UOM you keep inventory in. But it seems not to be the case.
