Multiple UOM for Warehouse Tasks

Question

Experts,
I need to create warehouse tasks in round UOMs - in example, 10 crates, 1 unit, etc. I have a "0WHT" type  packspec determining the following:
Material 10000:
  1st level: 1 EACH
   2nd level: 1 CRATE = 10 EACHES
    3rd level: 1 PALLET = 160 CRATES (this one creates a Handling Unit)
When I need to move 8 eaches (less than one crate), system creates WT in "EACH" UOM (and this is correct). When I need to move 10 or 20 eaches, system creates WT in "CRATES". The problem is when I need to move 15 eaches - it should (or I would like to) create two WTs, one for 1 crate, another for 5 eaches.
It is actually creating a single WT with 1,5 (one and a half) crate.
Is there any way to do this work properly?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
  In the Storage Type settings: Set the field 'Round Whole Units' to '2' ( Round down to a single Unit) and set the Quantity Classifer as  per se '1'.
In the packspec: On the 2nd level set 'Crate' as Operative UOM. and Quantity classifier as '1'.
You can define Quantity Classifiers under the following Path:
Extended Warehouse Management->Cross-Process Settings->Warehouse Task->Define Quantity Classifications
Here is further documentation on Quantity Classifiers:
Quantity Classification in Warehouse
Definition
Describes in which packaging unit a product is stored in the warehouse.
Use
The storage type determination pick uses quantity classification to determine the storage type in which the product is stored in the optimal packaging unit.  Quantity classification arises from the packing instruction, according to each quantity required.
The operative unit of measure also arises from the packing instruction, by means of quantity classification. Here, the system determines the quantity classification based on the customizing settings in the storage type, or in the product master on storage type level.  The operative unit of measure is displayed when executing the transaction. If the setting round is set in the warehouse storage type, the system rounds the stock removal quantity based on the operative unit of measure.
Example
The following quantity classifications are defined for a warehouse:
1 = loose (individual components)
2 = cartons
3 = tiers
4 = pallets
Hope that helps
Thanks
