Enable JavaScript for the interactive output. The method and limits remain readable below.

Method

Use the larger of the requested quantity and supplier minimum, then round up to the next multiple of the stated increment. Check whether the actual supplier applies increments differently.

Example or interpretation

For 130 requested units, a 100-unit minimum and 50-unit increments, the illustrative order is 150 units.

Limits

This assumes increments apply from zero. It does not submit orders or determine a medically appropriate quantity.
