Description
This document outlines how the ReOrder process works and quantities are calculated.
This feature is available for all WMS users.
Detail Steps
The automatic re-ordering feature of the WMS allows you to create supplier purchase orders based on the current stock commitment to sales/work orders and minimum stock holding levels defined in the ITEM buying details in Accounting software.
ONLY THOSE ITEMS that require re-ordering according to the minimum stock holding rules will show on this register.
