Order Minimum

This field applies to APS and MRP.

On the Planning Detail APS form, this field is read-only. The Planning Detail APS form is only used for APS planning analysis, not MRP.

Note: The order minimum value can be included on the Purchase Requirements Report by selecting the Include Item Order Minimum/Multiple check box.

Other than on the Planning Detail APS form, enter the minimum amount of this item to produce. When the system creates a planned order for this item, it is for a quantity no less than the amount in this field. The system uses the order minimum in conjunction with the order multiple value. If the demand quantity is less than the order minimum, the system creates the planned order for the order minimum value. If the order minimum value is less than the demand quantity, the system adds order multiples to the order minimum value until the planned order quantity is greater than or equal to the demand quantity.

Note: Other demands can use any leftover quantities created by order minimum/order multiple calculations.
