The purchase multiple field is used to determine how much product should be ordered when automatically generating purchase orders.

 

•Enter the number of weeks worth of product that should be ordered in this field. The value for the number of weeks can be determined by dividing the number of days by 7.

 

•If the item should never be ordered automatically, leave the value of the purchase multiple set to 0.

 

If you always wanted to keep a two week supply of the item enter 2.0.  

Formula: 14 days / 7 days in a week = 2.0

 

If your needs were instead for a ten day supply, you could enter 1.4.

Formula: 10 days / 7 days in a week = 1.4

 

Field name change: In version 4.0.19 Purchase Multiple was changed to Order Weeks.
