Fixed Order Quantity

Items listed in this exception are warehouse SKUs with Fixed Ord Qty values assigned in the Stocking tab of Inventory Maintenance. A Fixed Ord Qty overrides your normal ordering (ROP/RSO) behaviour by ordering exactly the Fixed Ord Qty value every time the SKU's quantity-on-hand falls below its order point. Using Fixed Ord Qty is not a recommended practice because:

  • Min/Max (EOQ) is a better and more flexible solution
  • It is not responsive to customer demand and can lead to stock-outs
  • Is an obscure way to manage order quantities
  • Can keep SKUs from being managed via EOQ formula

Steps to process this report:

    1. Display the listed SKU in Inventory Maintenance
    2. Blank out the Fixed Ord Qty
    3. Adjust the Min Order Point if desired 
    4. Save your changes
