RE: WO: reorder level, min order size/EOQ
Hi Exson,
how do I get access to Mantis? I see it needs userid/password.
thanks,

eoq: maybe this is a terminalogy problem.
item and stockmaster has an eoq.
purchase data has a minumum order quantity and leadtime.
leadtime from purchasedata (also for preferred supplier) is used, minumum order quantity from same table is ignored.
If we suggest PO's, either we ignore all info from purchase data, or we should use it.
I propose:
to use eoq as a quantity seen from my companies side (however the minumum order quantity is, I personally always want to order at least eoq
to use minimum order quantity on top of that: if eoq is smaller than minimum order quantity, use that in the proposal PO instead.
If you agree on this change, I can do it and submit it and change the wiki so others know how this is used.
another feature request: for MRP, one could add checkboxes:
x ... use supplier with fastest leadtime
x use supplier with lowest cost
x use supplier with lowest price
x use preferred supplier
That would help planning (e.g. it could show whether a project could be faster by choosing the supplier with the fastest leadtime).
