Order Multiple

This field specifies the amount by which a planned order amount is incremented.

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

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

See Using Lot Sizes with MRP and APS for examples of how the system uses the two parameters.

If you are using APS, the system also uses this parameter with the Reorder Point value. If a Reorder Point value is specified on the Items form, the system uses order multiple as necessary to increase the generated planned order quantity until it is greater than the Reorder Point value.
