Order Multiple Field, Item Table
Defines a parameter that is used by the planning system to modify the order quantity of planned supply orders. The order multiple is an integer that defines the quantity to which an order quantity is rounded up. The modified order quantity is then divisible by the order multiple.
Example
Order multiple: 5
Initial order quantity: 17
Modified order quantity: 20
The initial order quantity of 17 is rounded up to the nearest number that is divisible by 5, which is 20.
The Order Multiple field is used in calculating the overflow level. For more information, see Design Details: Staying under the Overflow Level.
