If you’re using the Min/Max feature when creating a PO, and your calculated order is shy of meeting the minimum order $$ amount or minimum free-freight $$ amount, you can now query the database to find additional items that are at or above the minimum but have not reached the maximum. You can then select a few of these items to meet the minimum vendor requirements and get your order placed. Watch [this short 3.5 minute video](https://www.rm-solutions.com/hubfs/29%20-%20Purchase%20Order_%20Using%20the%20Query%20Feature%20to%20Meet%20Min%20$$%20Amount.mp4) to learn more.
