Use this method in the Order Point Report (ROP) to set the order point to a specific percentage above or below the current order point. You may want to use this method to fine-tune sensitive items.
For example:
You want to set the order points for items in a certain class to 5% more than the current order points. Type 105.
You want to set the order points for items in a certain class to 10% less than the current order points. Type 90.
You can use Method 2 with Method 1. If you combine methods, the system uses the methods in numerical order. For each item, if the first method applies, the system ignores the second method. If the first method does not apply, the system uses the second method.
For example: You use Methods 1 and 2. For Method 1, you want to set the order point to 1 for each item whose cost is $175 or higher. For each item, the system uses Method 1 first.
The system uses Method 1 for SKU 113113. Its cost is $193. Since the cost is greater than $175, the system sets the order point to 1. Since SKU 113113 meets the criteria for Method 1, the system does not use Method 3 on the item.
The system uses Method 1 for SKU 444089. Its cost is $8.21. Since the cost is less than $175, the system uses Method 2 on the item.
