If this check box is selected, the global item ordering data is used for the site. Consequently, changes to the item data at company level are synchronized automatically to the site level.

Order Method

The item's order method.

Allowed values

Lot for Lot
Economic Order Quantity
Fixed Order Quantity
Replenish to Maximum Inventory

Warehouse

The default warehouse in which the item is stored.

You must specify a default item warehouse for items of these types:

Order Increment

order quantity increment

Note:

LN verifies this quantity when planned orders are generated.
If you select the Lot Size Calculation Allowed check box, LN updates this field when you run the Global Update of Inventory Parameters (whina2200m000) session.

Minimum

The minimum order quantity for the item.

Note: If you select the Lot Size Calculation Allowed check box, LN updates this field when you run the Global Update of Inventory Parameters (whina2200m000) session.

Example

The economic stock is 100
The reorder point is 230
The order method is Lot for Lot
The minimum order is quantity 800

As a result, LN generates a planned order for 800 instead of an order for 130 (230-100).

Maximum

The maximum order quantity for the item.

Note: If you select the Lot Size Calculation Allowed check box, LN updates this field when you run the Global Update of Inventory Parameters (whina2200m000) session.

Example

The economic stock is 100
The reorder point is 530
The order method is Lot for Lot
The maximum order quantity is 400

As a result, LN generates two orders for 400 each instead of a single planned order for 430 (530-100).

Fixed Order

The fixed order quantity for the item.

Note: If you select the Lot Size Calculation Allowed check box, LN updates this field when you run the Global Update of Inventory Parameters (whina2200m000) session.

Example

The order method is Fixed Order Quantity and the Fixed Order Quantity is 20.

If you require 70 units, LN will generate four orders for 20 units each (a total of 80 units).

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Fixed order quantity.

Economic Order Quantity

The economic order quantity for the item.

Example

LN generates a planned order for 20 units of an item with a SIC order system and the Economic Order Quantity order method.

The economic order quantity is 30 units
The minimum order quantity is 25

As a result, the order is adjusted to 30 units.

Service Level

The service level percentage determines to what extent the item can be delivered directly from inventory.

Example

A service level of 95% means that in 95% of all cases customer demand must be satisfied by immediate delivery. In other words, 'no' is accepted in 5% of the cases.

Note: A service level of 100% is not recommended, because it causes an infinitely high safety stock.

Safety Stock

The safety stock for the item.

Note: The safety stock must be less than or equal to the maximum inventory and/or the re-order point.

Maximum Inventory

If the order method is Replenish to Maximum Inventory, LN generates purchase orders or production orders for the quantities of the item that are required to reach this inventory level.

Seasonal Pattern

The seasonal demand pattern for the item.

You can also specify a value for this field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session. That field applies to a specific combination of item and warehouse.

Note: If the Order Interval has a value > 0, LN populates the date on which a planned order or order is generated plus the value of the Order Interval in this field.

LN needs the order quantity for the following purposes:

The calculation of the setup costs for operations during the estimated project calculation.
