Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)
The Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is the smallest amount of a product that is willing to sell. This threshold ensures that orders are economically viable for the vendor.
For example, if a vendor has an MOQ of 500 units for a specific item, AGR will ensure that any order placed for this item meets or exceeds this minimum quantity.
Order Multiples
Order Multiples refer to the specific increments in which items must be ordered. This is often dictated by packaging or palletizing constraints.
For instance, if an item is packaged in 10 units per box, the order quantity must be in multiples of 10 (e.g., 10, 20, 30, etc.).
Packaging Constraints: Ensures orders are placed in manageable, consistent quantities.
Inventory Control: Helps in maintaining organized inventory levels and simplifies the stocking process.
How AGR Uses MOQ and Order Multiples
AGR calculates the optimal order quantity to meet demand while adhering to the following constraints:
Optimal Order Calculation: AGR determines the necessary quantity to satisfy upcoming demand.
Applying MOQ: Next, the order quantity is adjusted to meet or exceed the MOQ.
Ensuring Order Multiples: Finally, the order quantity is rounded up to the nearest multiple of the order multiple.
By applying these constraints, AGR ensures that the suggested order quantities fulfill your operational needs and vendor requirements seamlessly.
