Maximum Inventory Field

The Item Table

In this field, you can enter a quantity that you want to use as a maximum inventory level. When calculating order proposal quantities, the program will then use maximum inventory minus the actual quantity available at the time of the order. Note that depending on the current inventory at the time, this may result in order proposal quantities that cause the projected available balance to exceed the maximum inventory that you define.

This field is used only with the reordering policy Maximum Qty. It is disabled for all other reordering policy options.

Note that for optimal results, you should set up this field so that maximum inventory>reorder point>safety stock.
