How to find items to be ordered/re-ordered

The supplier performance area is a good tool for finding items that need to be orders. Just follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the Supplier Menu.
  2. Click on Stock Listing For Supplier Codes.
  3. By default, the list will be empty. You can generate a list of the items shown by using the search parameters and hitting 'Search'. For example, you can restrict the search to one particular supplier, and then even fine tune that by a specific date range of sold stock.
  4. Once the list is set to the options you want, you can add items to an order.
  5. Click the item you wish to re-order(it will then highlight in blue). Repeat this to select more items.
  6. In the Qty field at the bottom left of the screen, type in the quantity you want to order.
    Note: The quantity will be applied to each item you select. So if you type '2' in the qty field, it will add 2 quantities to each highlighted item.
  7. Click on Add.
  8. To add more items with a different quantity, repeat the steps above, selecting the item and then entering the quantity to order.


How it works:
Ordering stock via this menu will always search for an active supplier order for the given supplier first. If one is not present, it will create one. So if you are adding quantities to order for multiple different suppliers, it will search for open supplier orders for each supplier or create new supplier orders where relevant.
