  Maximum lot size is a feature of the SAP Product Master component that allows users to set a maximum quantity for a product or material. This quantity is the maximum amount of the product or material that can be produced or purchased in one lot. It is used to control the amount of inventory that is kept on hand and to ensure that production and purchasing processes are efficient.
  
  How to use it: 
  The maximum lot size can be set in the SAP Product Master component by entering the desired quantity in the “Maximum Lot Size” field. This field can be found in the “Product Master Data” tab of the product or material. Once the maximum lot size has been set, it will be applied to all future production and purchasing orders for that product or material.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the maximum lot size, it is important to consider the lead time for production and delivery of the product or material. If the lead time is too long, it may be necessary to increase the maximum lot size in order to ensure that there is enough inventory on hand when needed. Additionally, it is important to consider any seasonal fluctuations in demand when setting the maximum lot size.
