Fixed order quantity

If you use a fixed order quantity for a particular item, every order for that item will have the same order quantity. If you require a larger quantity, LN generates multiple orders for the same item and the same due date.

To define a fixed order quantity for manufactured items, use the Fixed Order Quantity field in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session.

To define a fixed order quantity for purchased items, use the Fixed Order Quantity field in the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.

The Plan Items - Optimized Lot Sizes (cprao3110m000) session calculates the optimal lot sizes.

During the planning process, LN stores the requirements and planned orders for each individual plan item in memory. If requirements are very large, but the lot sizes are very small, the planning run requires considerable performance.
