The reorder low stock to min level is great but it would be good if at the inventory level (or ideally supplier for inventory item level) we can set a minimum purchase order quantity. This would be useful for a number of reasons.
1. To avoid reordering a very small quantity of a product to get up to minimum level.
2. To utitilse available bin location space. I.e we know a bin location can hold 50 units and we have a reorder of 10 units. The stock item is low value so we choose to set a minimum purchase quantity of 40 units so that the reorder low stock functionality would prompt us to order a quantity that would fill the available bin space.
3. Supplier has a minimum order quantity for a product.
4. Supplier has favourable pricing when x quantity is ordered.
