Min/Max configuration: Overview


Minimum and maximum values of inventory to be held in the different entities can be configured by either:

  • Absolute quantities: the system will not calculate the min/max and the absolute min & max quantities provided per inventory item when adding inventory will be used as a basis
  • Duration of stock (in days/weeks/months of stock): the min/max quantities would be auto-calculated based on consumption rate. Hence, this option will only be available if manual or automatic consumption has been setup. The frequency of this computation can be configured in days, weeks or months of stock. The Min/Max value in the duration (days, weeks or months) will need to be provided during inventory addition
