The re-order quantity value is used in conjunction with a non-zero Order Point and your current on order quantity value. This is how it works.

 

entrée determines batch quantity by using the formula:

 Order Point - On Hand Quantity - On Order Qty = Order Qty

Order point can come from inventory file maintenance or the via a vendor/item override. There are provisions for seasonal overrides as described in the note below.

 

If the amount to reorder fluctuates depending on the time of the year, up to 4 additional reorder quantities may be specified in the Special Re-order Definitions area on the Vendor tab of inventory file maintenance. If special reorder quantities are defined you must enable system option # 115.
