If there is a number in an item's Maximum Stock Level field, the item is on a Min-Max ordering system. When your quantity-on-hand falls below the order point, the Epicor suggests you order enough to put you back up to the maximum stock level— rounded up to the next appropriate order package quantity.
If there is no number in the Maximum Stock Level field, this item is on a straight order point system. When your quantity-on-hand falls below the order point, the Epicor Eagle™ system suggests you order enough to put you back up to the order point— rounded up to the next appropriate order package quantity.
Note: some of your items may be on Min-Max, and some may be on straight order point. In other words, you do not have to choose one method or the other.
