Reordering

Individual stock items have their own set of stock replenishment rules. These define when the stock item needs to be replenished at the site they are stored at, and how.

Use these pages to control those stock levels and to replenish the stock with a work order or purchase order from a calculation result where potential requirements exceed any supply.

You can replenish stock levels from:

• An MRP calculation result for stock items with a Replenishment method of By MRP (By Material Requirements Planning).
• A stock reorder calculation result for items with a Replenishment method of By reorder point.

By only ordering an item when there is a requirement for it keeps stock levels and associated stock overhead costs to a minimum.

In this section you can:
