Min/Max Inventory Levels
Min/max levels define a replenishment threshold and a target stock level.
Definition
In general ERP practice
Min/max levels define a replenishment threshold and a target stock level. The minimum signals a need for supply, while the maximum guides the replenishment quantity rather than imposing a physical storage limit.
In Odoo
Odoo reordering rules use minimum and maximum quantities against forecast stock. Routes, lead times, triggers and quantity multiples affect the resulting RFQ or manufacturing order; maximum stock is not the same as warehouse capacity.
