min_lot_size Integer value representing the minimum lot size for production. If the column “Minimum Lot Size” is included in the skus data, then this argument is ignored. 1 use_min_lot_size If TRUE, the optimization will apply the minimum when computing optimal lot sizes. If FALSE, the optimization will ignore any minimum lot size data. FALSE round_to_min If TRUE, the optimization will round the computed optimal lot size to the nearest multiple of the minimum. If FALSE, the optimization does not round the optimal lot size. FALSE skus (required) Tabular data representing the SKUs as defined in the data template.
