The Inventory re-order report assumes that if you have the re-order method set to economic quantity re-order method that it will re-order the econimc re-order quantity without taking into account what is available. If your quantity available is negative (-51) and your economic reorder quantity is 50, the system would say to buy 50 not 100. The system should always recommend to bring available quantity to 0 irrespective of what the re-order method is and then apply the re-order method functionality. The first step would be what is required to bring available to zero. So in my example I would need 51. Since the economic order quantity is 50 my recommended order would be 100.

It is crazy that the current Economic Qty method does not multiple the economic qty set to meet or exceed the current demand. Sage please review.
