Procurement Critical On-hand Report
The Procurement -> Procurement Critical on-hand page shows procured items for which the available quantity is below their Reorder Point (ROP), and need re-ordering.
For an item to show up on this report, its Reorder point parameter must be defined.
- If the Reorder point is left empty, the item will not appear in the report, regardless of its stock level.
- If the Reorder point is set to some value, the item will appear once its available quantity is below that threshold.
For creating a Purchase Order:
- Click on the Create a purchase order Create a purchase order button on an item's line.
- All other items below the minimum from the same vendor are automatically added to the same PO.*
- All PO details are automatically filled, including price, minimum order quantity, and expected delivery date.*
- *For the automatic grouping and Purchase Order pre-population to work, the Purchase Terms must be saved for the items.
- Update any details of the PO, e.g., add, remove, or edit the line items.
- Save to create the PO.
- When the Purchase Order is saved, all the ordered items are automatically booked to where they are required -> Customer or Manufacturing Orders (following the FIFO principle).
