Feature - Add Item Order Minimum, Order Multiple and Recommended Minimum Quantities to One Location Buyer's Desk
Release Date: 1/30/26
Version: 8.5 and Above
This feature adds support for the item order minimum (field 47 notated as 1 below), item recommended minimum order (field 44 notated as 2 below) and order multiple (field 47 notated as 3 below). With this change, the Buyer's Desk application applies the same quantity warnings as seen in the Purchase Order Line Item screen.
The fields are now available on the one location Buyer's Desk item review screen.
The application will compare the entered To Buy quantity to item order minimum (the Min field shown above). If the entered To Buy quantity is less than the item order minimum, the user will receive the message "Warning - Item Must Be Ordered In Larger Quantity - Are You Sure?"
If the user chooses No, they will be returned to the To Buy field.
If the entered To Buy quantity is greater than the item order minimum but less than the item recommended minimum order (the RecMin field shown above), the user will receive the message "Warning - This Order May Be Too Small To Be Economical - Are You Sure?"
If the user answers Yes to either of these prompts, or there was no exception, the application will check if the entered To Buy quantity is a multiple of the item order multiple (the Mult field shown above). If it is not, the user will receive the message Warning: Not The Recommended Order Multiple (9999), Are You Sure?"
If the user chooses No, they will be returned to the To Buy field.
