Minimum Order Quantity

In each item's Inventory record (on the Purchasing tab), users can define a Minimum Order Qty. If a Minimum Order Qty is defined, any purchase orders that include that item will be required to obey that minimum order quantity.
Sample Inventory item record with Min Order Quantity set to 1,000:

When the item with a defined Minimum Order Qty is listed on a PO, the Ord Qty on the PO is set to the value entered in the Minimum Order Qty field in inventory and cannot be reduced below that level.
Sample purchase order showing Ord Qty set to item's minimum order quantity in the inventory record:

The user can enter a larger value but not a smaller value. If a user tries to enter a smaller value than the value entered in the Inventory record Minimum Order Qty field, an error message is displayed.
