There's no problem with mixing these; some of your items may
be on Min-Max, and some may be on straight order point. The
Triad system can handle them both at once.

If there is a number in an item's New Order Quantity field, the
Triad system just suggests you order that quantity—rounded up,
if necessary, to the next appropriate order package quantity.
There could be a number at New Order Quantity if you typed a
number there, or if you ran Report RSO with Option E.
Clearly, your order points play an essential part in determining
the items and quantities you will order. To make sure the order
points you're using are as accurate and current as possible, you
should recalculate them frequently—perhaps even weekly.
Please see "Order Points," page 4-4.
When you have confidence in your order points, you're ready to
order.
If you know which vendor you want to order from, please see
"When You Know What Vendor You'll Order From," page 4-20.
If you want to shop around before you decide who to buy from
(you're buying lumber, for example), you need a shopping list to
work from. Please see "When You Don't Know Who You'll
Order From" on page 4-29.
