Order multiples are an ordering parameter that define the multiples you want/need to order in from a particular supplier. For example, if you have an Order multiple of 3, Minfos will generate quantities based on that field - 3, 6, 9, 12 etc. For further information about supplier ordering parameters refer to Manage Supplier Ordering Parameters.

You can import the Order multiple quantities set for a specified supplier from a file exported from Minfos by your own pharmacy or another Minfos pharmacy.

Note
Before importing a Multiple Order Quantities file, it is strongly recommended that you export your current Order multiples and save the file in a safe location. This will enable you to revert to your previous Order multiples if required. Refer to Export Order Multiple Quantities for further information.
