Lot size
The lot size is used in the MRP (Materials Requirements Planning) calculation. According to the reorder policy, the lot size lets you perform the following actions:

• Split a global suggestion into several lots (manufacturing constraint: vat size, etc.)
  
• Round up the requirement to the minimum quantity when the lot size is fixed (purchase constraint such as boxes of n units).
  For example:
  
• Production suggestion of 500 units, to be divided into 5 suggestions of 100 units
  
• Purchasing suggestion of 52 units with a lot size of 12: it is necessary to order 60 units.
