Option 7Create Reorder Records

This function is used to create reorder records for specific products that have reached reorder points in their warehouses and have the Auto POs? option set to ‘Y’ in the Products By Warehouse file. The reorder point has been reached when the following expression is true:

On Hand + On Order - Committed - Requisitioned LE Reorder Point

The reorder vendor and reorder quantity on the reorder record are obtained from the Products By Warehouse record. The purchase price is obtained from the Products By Vendor record; if detail in this file is not kept by vendor, the purchase price is set to 0, and you must edit the reorder record to provide this information. If a reorder record already exists, a new reorder record replaces the existing record. An option can be set on the reorder record to allow a purchase order to be generated from the record.

Select “Create Reorder Records” from the Utilities and Special Edits menu to run this function.
