Reorder Quantities Based on Sales History
Tip
Replenishing inventory by reordering items with
purchase quantities based on past quantities sold.
On the Reports menu, click
Inventory > Reorder. In the Reorder Type box, select
Sales History.
Select the sales history period
you want to use as a basis for replenishing your inventory. In the Beginning
History Date box, select a beginning date for the desired date range. In the
Ending History Date box, select the ending date for the desired date range. In the
Reorder Days Supply box, type the number of days for which you are reordering.
For example, if you select a date
range for a specific week and specify a Reorder Days Supply of 14, if an item
was sold once per day during the selected week, the report will suggest an order of 14
items (assuming that the minimum purchase quantity for that item is also
1).
In the Current Vendor ID
box, select the vendor for the reorder.
If you want to hand this
Reorder report to the vendor, click Print.
If you want to send this
Reorder report electronically to your EDI vendor, click Create Purchase Order.
Once the system creates the purchase order (it displays a message telling you
that it has), on the Daily Work menu, select Purchases/Payables
and display the paidout that corresponds to the reorder. The paidout will
display "CAO" as a prefix in the Invoice # box (for example, CAO12334).
Click CAO Trans > Create Order.
You may be prompted to view the order. After you close the order display,
click Send Order. Close the Transmission window when finished.
