Thanks to invite...!!

Place the order when you have left units in hand.

I agree with the answer of Mr. Awad.

I also agree with Mr. Nadeem Asghar's point of views to be considered at the time of re-ordering.

I agree to both of above replies and would like to add the following as well from a reply given by Mostafa Abouelsaad to a very similar question earlier:  

Quote:

However you should also consider the following factors before ordering:

 

  • Is there a minimum order quantity for the needed units?
  • Is it a seasonal product?
  • Is your Purchasing budget enough for the needed units?

You need to multiply 50 X 10 and take out the 625 unit so you will get it.
