Use Line Fill Rate
An indictor of whether the Line Fill Rate or the Unit Fill Rate is used when calculating the Fill Rate metric. The resulting stock levels are multiples of the Customer Order Size. For example, if a shelf stock is 7 units, and a customer has an order for 10 units:
The Unit Fill Rate is 70%
The Line Fill Rate is 0%
When this option is selected the Fill Rate metric is measured by Line Fill Rate and uses the Customer Order Size, which is based on the Customer Order Size Average (default 1), the Customer Order Size Standard Deviation (default 0), and the Line Fill Rate Safety Factor (default 0). The resulting stock levels (Safety Stock, ROP, and Stock Maximum) are multiples of the Customer Order Size.
When this option is not selected, the Fill Rate metric is measured by Unit Fill Rate and the Customer Order Size is always equal to 1.
* 
The Customer Order Size that is used for Line Fill Rate calculations is not considered for availability models by Inventory Optimization. Therefore, the resulting stock level is not necessarily a multiple of the Customer Order Size.
