How Rounding the Reorder Quantity Affects Min-Max Planning Reorder Calculations
When you specify to round reorder quantities, min-max planning reorders for item subinventories are automatically rounded up or down.
Settings That Affect Rounding the Reorder Quantity
Reorder quantities for an item subinventory are calculated based on:
-
The setting that you select for the Round reorder quantity parameter on the Manage Inventory Organization Parameters page, General tab, of the inventory organization containing the item subinventory
-
The value that you specify for the Fixed Lot Multiple text box on the Add Item to Subinventory window
How Rounding the Reorder Quantity Affects Min-Max Planning Reorder Quantity Calculations
If you enable rounding the reorder quantity for the inventory organization, and specify the fixed lot multiple for the item subinventory, the reorder quantity is rounded up. If you disable rounding the reorder quantity for the inventory organization, and specify the fixed lot multiple for the item subinventory, the reorder quantity is rounded down.
To round reorder quantities, you must specify a fixed lot multiple.
Example: Rounding the Reorder Quantity
Assume that the reorder quantity is 24. If you enable rounding the reorder quantity and specify 10 for the fixed lot multiple, the reorder quantity is rounded up to 30. If you disable rounding the reorder quantity and keep the fixed lot multiple at 10, the reorder quantity is rounded down to 20.
