The Maximum Shelf Hold is an ordering parameter that defines the maximum amount of stock you want to have in your pharmacy for the product. For example, if a product’s Maximum Shelf Hold is set to 3, Minfos will not consider this product when generating an order if your SOH is 3 or above.

Note
The Max. Shelf Hold quantity trumps all other supplier ordering parameters. If you set a Max. Shelf Hold of 3 and a Min. Order Qty of 6 and your current SOH is 2, when you generate an order Minfos will only order you 1, so your total SOH will be 3 and you may miss out on your discounted cost price because you didn't order the minimum quantity. Refer to Supplier Ordering Parameters for further information.

You can export the Maximum Shelf Hold quantities set in your Minfos for a specified supplier to be imported at another Minfos pharmacy, or as a backup copy before you make changes. Refer to Import Maximum Shelf Hold Quantities for further information about importing Maximum Shelf Hold quantities.
