Goods Required

This help guide will assist you in running the Good Required routine.

1. Navigate to Catalogue & Inventory followed by Goods Required.

2. Upon opening the routine, they system checks to see which goods are required based on stock levels.

The sequence of how the routine determines whether an order is required is detailed below:-

<1> Calculates total Allocations (Requirement)

<2> Checks the Reorder Quantity And Total Allocations, If both are 0 Then the product is excluded.

<3> Calculates total In Stock.

<4> Checks (Total Allocations + Reorder Level) <= Total In Stock, If True then the product is excluded.

<5> Calculates total On Order.

<6> Checks (Total Allocations + Reorder Level) <= (Total In Stock + Total On Order), If True then the product is excluded.

3. After the system has ran the report, you have two options at the bottom of the screen. Order Required and Order Replenish Qty.

Order Required: Will order sufficient amounts to raise stock levels to the required quantity.

Order Replenish Stock: Will order sufficient amounts to raise stock levels to the replenish quantity.

4. Upon selecting either option, you will be asked if you would like to send the orders generated via email.

5. A loading bar will indicate the system loading the Purchase Orders.

6. A list of Purchase Orders will now have been generated for you to send to the suppliers.
