The INVENTORY.MAXLEVEL field is titled 'Reorder Point', which is the same as INVENTORY.MINLEVEL. MINLEVEL is correct

The INVENTORY.MAXLEVEL field is titled 'Reorder Point', which is the same as INVENTORY.MINLEVEL. MINLEVEL is described correctly, but MAXLEVEL is not.

This shows up mostly in reporting, especially for QBR building when searching for 'reorder' and retrieving too many records.

To see this in the application, from the inventory application, build a QBR and when filtering for content, use 'reorder point' as the label to filter on.

To see this easily, here is SQL that can help, or you can use field help in the inventory application reorder tab:

select OBJECTNAME, ATTRIBUTENAME, TITLE, REMARKS from maxattribute
where OBJECTNAME = 'INVENTORY' AND ATTRIBUTENAME = 'MAXLEVEL';

which results in:

INVENTORY MAXLEVEL Reorder Point Maximum Level - Reorder Point

What I would recommend would be to change the title to 'Maximum Level' and the description to 'Maximo Quantity Level desired for this inventory record'
