Threshold Value Check in Quantity Optimizing
Use
You use the threshold value check to optimize quantities. In Purchasing, this check is only made in additional planning.
Features
The system only checks the threshold values after it has analyzed the rounding profile. If a rounding profile is available and the quantity has been rounded off, the new quantity may have to be changed again.
If you have defined threshold values for a quantity, the quantity cannot exceed/fall short of these values. So the system rounds off once again to the minimum or maximum quantity.
You place an order for distribution center "North" of 425 pieces of article 500004711 with vendor "Jones."
When the system optimizes the quantity using the dynamic rounding profile, it calculates an order of 43 cartons containing 10 pieces each.
In the purchasing information record for "Jones," article 5000004711 and distribution center "North," the minimum quantity is 50 cartons.
Therefore the system changes the order quantity for the item to 50 cartons.
