You can generate purchase orders for stock based on a stock reorder point. The system suggests the items and quantities that need to be ordered. The system is based on the order suggestions through backorders or the sales history.
You should set up Item Branch Quantities in order to generate the purchase order by using stock reorder points.
The order generation suggestions can also be changed before generating the purchase order. The Purchase Order Generator program (P43011) has a zero reorder point feature: when the item's inventory level is equal to zero, the system calculates the reorder point for that item. For example, the item can also be reordered if it's not in stock. The zero reorder feature can be enabled by selecting the appropriate options for system's additional information in the Item Branch (P41026) application. For instance, if you enter 0 in the Order Policy Code field, the system generates purchase orders. When the Value Order Policy field has a value of 1, it overrides the value in the Reorder Point Input field with 0.
The purchase order generator works based on the stock order point that is set up in the Item Branch quantities, which is a program in the Inventory Management System. In the item branch quantities set-up, there are multiple quantity options that can be set up.
