 When you select an item, it will be added to the requisition. The following information is provided about the item:
-  ***Item Code** and **Item Name**: as per your mSupply item list details
+  * **Item Code** and **Item Name**: as per your mSupply item list details
-  ***Current Stock**: how much stock currently available in your facility
+  * **Current Stock**: how much stock currently available in your facility
-  ***Monthly Use**: how much stock your facility uses each month on average (based on the last three months).
+  * **Monthly Use**: how much stock your facility uses each month on average (based on a configurable number of months (refer [[https://docs.msupply.org.nz/other_stuff:virtual_stores#preferences_tab|Store Preferences tab]]), but defaults to **3**).
-  ***Suggested Quantity**: how much stock mSupply Mobile suggests that you order based on your monthly use and the maximum months of supply you wish to order for your facility.
+  * **Suggested Quantity**: how much stock mSupply Mobile suggests that you order.  This is calculated as:
+    * **Monthly Use** x **Max MOS** - **Current Stock**
+    * So, for the above example for Ibuprofen 200mg tablets,  **Suggested Quantity** = (**453** x **2**) - **80** = **827**
+<WRAP center round tip 60%>
+What should **Max MOS** be set to?
+<wrap em>Max MOS</wrap> = <wrap em>Lead time</wrap> +<wrap em> Order cycle</wrap> + <wrap em>Buffer stock</wrap>
+  * <wrap em>Lead time</wrap>:  The time between creating the requisition and receiving the stock.  For most facilities using mSupply Mobile, we can hope that this will be no more than **1** month
+  * <wrap em>Order cycle</wrap>:  This is the frequency of ordering.  If it is every month, this will be **1**, if it is once per quarter, then this will be **3**.
+  * <wrap em>Buffer stock</wrap>:  This is the safety margin of stock that the facility //plans// for.  The safety margin accounts for things such as an order being missed, or delivery delayed.  A common approach is to set this to //twice// the Order cycle.
+So, if we have:
+  * <wrap em>Lead time</wrap> = **1**
+  * <wrap em>Order cycle</wrap> = **1**
+  * <wrap em>Buffer stock</wrap> = **2** x **1** = **2**
+Then:
+  * <wrap em>Max MOS</wrap> = **1** + **1** + **2** = <wrap em>4</wrap>
+</WRAP>
+  *** Requested Quantity**: this is set to zero by default. You can do either of the following:
+    * Accept the **Suggested Quantities** by tapping on the **Use Suggested Quantities** button.  This populates all cells.
+    * Change the values manually by tapping in the cell and changing the number.  You can also do this after accepting the **Suggested Quantities** by tapping on the **Use Suggested Quantities** button.
-<WRAP center round info 90%> mSupply Mobile has a tool that helps you determine the quantity of stock to order.
-Select the number of months of supply that you wish to order using the **MaxMOS** dropdown box in the header.  If you select a larger MaxMOS, the suggested quantity of stock to order will be larger.
-Suggested quantity is calculated as **(Monthly Use x MaxMOS) - Current Stock**.  So for the above example for Ibuprofen 200mg tablets, (453*2)-80=827</WRAP>
-  *** Requested Quantity**: this is set to zero by default. You can either change manually by tapping in the cell and changing the number.
