Minimum Order Quantity Calculator — illustrative example

INPUT
Demand is 73 units; supplier minimum is 50 units per item; pack multiple is 12.

RESULT
Smallest valid order meeting demand: 84 units, or 7 packs.
Excess over demand: 11 units.
Check whether storage, budget and delivery constraints make this quantity acceptable.

REVIEW
Minimum order calculations should combine supplier minimums, pack multiples and actual demand. State whether the minimum applies per item or across an order and show the resulting excess quantity.
