Reorder Quantities Based on Minimum Purchase Quantity
Tip
Replenishing inventory
by reordering items with purchase quantities based on Min. Purchase Qty values
and Quantity On Hand values.
You may reorder inventory items based on
the Min. On Hand Level, Max. On Hand Level, and Min. Purchase Qty values established
for each. You may set these values at any time on each item from
Inventory Maintenance (on the Setup menu, click Inventory >
Items (PLU/UPC/SKU) or you may set up all items which meet the selected
criteria from Item Adjustment (on the Setup menu, click Inventory
> Item Adjustment).
On the Reports menu, click
Inventory > Reorder. In the Reorder Type combo box, select
Min On Hand Level. When the Quantity On Hand value meets or is less
than the Min. On Hand Level (also known as the "trigger" value), the system knows to reorder
up to the Max. On Hand Level in quantities equal to the Min. Purchase Qty value.
In the Current Vendor ID
box, select the vendor for the reorder.
If you want to hand this
Reorder report to a vendor, click Print.
If you want to send this Reorder reorder 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.
