• Key Concepts: 
  Fixed lot size is a term used in SAP's Material Requirements Planning (MRP) component. It is a quantity of material that is planned to be produced or procured in one production order or purchase order. This quantity is predetermined and does not change based on the demand for the material. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Fixed lot size can be used to plan production or procurement of materials in SAP. It can be set up in the MRP view of the material master record. The fixed lot size can be set up as a fixed quantity, or as a multiple of another quantity, such as the order quantity or the safety stock. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up fixed lot size, it is important to consider the lead time for production or procurement of the material. The fixed lot size should be set up to ensure that there is enough material available to meet customer demand without having too much excess inventory.
