Summary
A way to narrow down the best order cycle taking into account the many different variables involved. This first screen is a setup screen, a chance to change the defaults before the computations are done. In some locations, these calculations can take some time so this screen allows them to start out with what is wanted instead of the defaults.
From this screen you may change the order cycle days to determine the most economical order cycle. After pressing enter and advancing to screen 2 of 3, you may update the order cycle. If you want the new order cycle to be used in today's order, you must F21=recalculate the supplier's order from the K3S_1020 screen.
