To order, the item is produced or purchased only if customer orders exist for the item. Related topics order policy Item ordering data
Order System | The default order system for the item. Related topics Item ordering data
Order Method | The item's default order method. Related topics Item ordering data
Order Quantity Increment | The size of the step by which the order quantity can be increased. The recommended order quantity must be a multiple of the quantity that you specify as the order quantity increment. ERP LN verifies this when planned orders are generated. Example If the required order quantity is 62 and the order quantity increment is 8, then ERP LN recommends an order quantity of 64. ERP LN verifies this, when planned orders are generated. The order quantities are expressed in the item's inventory unit. Related topics Item ordering data Order quantity settings
Minimum Order Quantity | The minimum order quantity for the item. The order quantities are expressed in the item's inventory unit. Note If you select the Inventory/Order Data check box, ERP LN updates this field when you run the Global Update of Inventory Parameters (whina2200m000) session. Example The economic inventory is 100. Te reorder point is 230. The order method is Lot for Lot. The minimum order is quantity 800. As a result, ERP LN generates a planned order for 800 instead of an order for 130 (230-100).

Maximum Order Quantity | The maximum order quantity for the item. The order quantities are expressed in the item's inventory unit. Note If you select the Inventory/Order Data check box, ERP LN updates this field when you run the Global Update of Inventory Parameters (whina2200m000) session. Example The economic stock is 100. The reorder point is 530. The order method is Lot for Lot. The maximum order quantity is 400. As a result, ERP LN generates two orders for 400 each instead of a single planned order for 430 (530-100). Related topics Item ordering data Order quantity settings
Fixed Order Quantity | The fixed order quantity for the item. The order quantities are expressed in the item's inventory unit. Note If you select the Inventory/Order Data check box, ERP LN updates this field when you run the Global Update of Inventory Parameters (whina2200m000) session. Example The order method is Fixed Order Quantity and the Fixed Order Quantity is 20. If you require 70 units, ERP LN will generate four orders for 20 units each (a total of 80 units).

Economic Order Quantity | The economic order quantity for the item. The order quantities are expressed in the item's inventory unit. Example ERP LN generates a planned order for 20 units of an item with a SIC order system and the Economic Order Quantity order method. The economic order quantity is 30 units. The minimum order quantity is 25. As a result, the order is adjusted to 30 units. Related topics Item ordering data Order quantity settings
Reorder Point | If the inventory level falls below the default reorder point, new orders are generated. The quantities are expressed in the item's inventory unit. The reorder point is calculated by increasing the safety stock with the: Expected usage during the order lead time. Order interval. Safety time. Note Purchase order advice and production order advice are generated by the Generate Order Advice (SIC) (whina3200m000) session.
Maximum Inventory | If the order method is Replenish to Maximum Inventory, ERP LN generates purchase orders or production orders for the quantities of the item that are required to reach this inventory level. The quantities are expressed in the item's inventory unit.
Service Level [%] | The default service level percentage determines to what extent the item can be delivered directly from inventory. Example A service level of 95% means that in 95% of all cases customer demand must be satisfied by an immediately delivery. In other words, No is accepted in 5% of the cases. Note A service level of 100% is not recommended, because it causes an infinitely high safety inventory.
Safety Stock | The safety inventory for the item. The quantities are expressed in the item's inventory unit. Note The safety stock must be less than or equal to the maximum inventory and/or the re-order point.
Order Interval | The number of workdays or working hours for which all the requirements of a specific item are bundled in one (planned) order, during an order planning run. ERP LN calculates the order interval from the day when the first requirement occurs. Order intervals are used to prevent an excessive number of planned orders in one time period.
Safety Time | The time that you can add to the normal lead time to protect delivery of goods against fluctuations in the lead time so that an order can be completed before the order's real need date.
Order Costs | The (administrative) costs for placing an order. Order costs include the handling and transportation costs. The costs of the purchasing department, production planning department, and control department incurred by a production order or a purchase order. The order costs are expressed in the default currency selected for the item group in the Item Groups (tcmcs0123m000) session.
[ | The default currency selected for the item group in the Item Groups (tcmcs0123m000) session.
Planner | The default planner.
Shop Floor Planner | The default shop floor planner.
Routing Group | The default routing group.

Critical in Master Planning | If this check box is selected, this plan item is critical in master planning. This means that in the master-planning process in Enterprise Planning, this item is treated as a critical component. If the item order system is Planned, you can select or clear this check box. In order planning, all components are taken into account. In master planning, only critical components are considered. Note Master planning uses an item's bill of critical materials (BCM) for production planning. As a rule, the BCM is derived from the BOM, and contains only those components that are designated as critical in master planning. You can generate a BCM for an item in the Generate Bill of Critical Materials (cprpd3220m000) session. Related topics Master planning, an overview
