Purchase Order Reorder List:

Introduction:

When you select Inventory, Purchase Orders, Create New Purchase Order, Create Reorder List, from the main menu, you are prompted to specify criteria for reordering products. After you click on OK, the program will check through all defined items (except Custom, Kit and Service type items) that match the criteria you specified, determine which need to be reordered because the quantity on hand is insufficient, and create a new PO that contains all qualifying items.

Notes:

1. This is similar to the Receive Miscellaneous feature in that no PO number is assigned.
2. You may specify the first few characters of a criterion, and the program will match anything the starts with those characters. For example if you have defined items with SKUs ABC, ABC2, and 123ABC, and you specify "ABC" as the SKU criterion, the program will check SKUs ABC and ABC2 but not 123ABC.
3. If you do not specify a vendor in the criteria, the PO created may contain items that are sold by several different vendors.
4. The suggested quantity for each item is computed based on the following formula: (Normal Stock Level) - (Qty In Stock) + (Qty Sold on Backorder*)+ (Qty Committed**) - (On Order Qty**)

* At the time of this writing, back orders for sales are not supported in the Windows version; so, this number will always be zero.

** This number is included in the calculation only if the associated checkbox on the criteria form ("Consider Committed Items as not In Stock?" or "Consider Items On Order as In Stock?") is checked.
