PO Purchase Orders - Generate

Navigator > Tasks > Purchase Orders > Enter Purchase Orders > Generate Order button

Products that match the selections will be added to the current purchase order. Products marked as discontinued are excluded.

Product - From / To

Specify a product or range.

Creditor

The Creditor code is set to the Creditor code for the purchase order but this can be changed (or deleted).

Only where default supplier

Selected, only products where the selected Creditor is the default supplier are added to the purchase order (default).

Clear, all products are included if they are associated with the default supplier.

Ignore Minimum Quantity

Selected, all items that have fallen below the maximum quantity will be included.

Clear, only items that have fallen below the minimum quantity will be included.

Regardless of the selection the recommended reorder is calculated as the quantity required to get back to the maximum.

Location

If a Stock Location is selected, only quantities from that location are considered. If this is blank, quantities at all locations are considered. (Accredo Saturn Only)

 

The quantity to order is calculated as follows:

If Ignore Minimum Quantity Unselected:

Quantity to Order = Recommended Reorder (i.e. where Quantity Theoretical is less than Minimum Quantity)

If Ignore Minimum Quantity Selected:

Quantity to Order = Maximum Quantity - Quantity Theoretical

If Quantity To Order > 0 then

If there is a Minimum Order Quantity in Supplier Costs that is greater than the calculated Quantity to Order then

Quantity to Order = Supplier Minimum Order Quantity

If IC Units of Measure is active and a Default Purchase UOM code has been set for the Product then

Round up Quantity to Order to a quantity in their Purchase UOM (expect that the minimum order quantity for the supplier would be set relative to default Purchase UOM so usually no further rounding is required).
