The system prevents users from ordering supplies in excess of the max. The app will not allow users to request more than the difference between the **max** and the **current level of inventory (plus quantities on order)**. When the user attempts to push the "+" button on the mobile app, he or she will see a pop-up that will say something similar: *You cannot order more than the max. Qty. on-hand: 6.0000, Qty. already requested: 1.0000, Max qty.: 8.000.* ### **How to set the max level:** 1. **Option 1**: Click your profile in the bottom left corner, go to Manage Locations, and select a location. **Option 2**: Use the search bar at the top left (or press Ctrl+K) and type the location name to go there directly. 2. Select the Supplies tab.  ![image (6)-1](https://support.cleansmarts.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image%20(6)-1.png?width=670&height=281&name=image%20(6)-1.png) 3. Under the Min level and Order to level columns, click the pencil icon next to the number and update. If the "Order-to" or maximum level is set to zero, then the system will not impose any limit to the quantity that can be ordered in a supply request. --- ###### Still need help?
