The Multiple field controls the minimum divisible schedule quantity for a workbench session. The default setting of 1.00 lets you create schedules with whole integer quantities only. When set to zero, Line Schedule Workbench attempts to use all available time to manufacture scheduled quantities. As a result, it will schedule decimal quantities if necessary.

You can set Multiple to any other quantity, as needed. This is useful if you plan orders in single units and schedule in multiples. Or, you can set Multiple to any meaningful decimal quantity such as 0.5. Then, you can enter schedule quantities in units of 0.5. A negative value is not allowed.

You cannot change the value of Multiple on existing schedules if non‑divisible quantities would result.
