Reorder and Purchase Order Generation

Turn reorder suggestions into purchase orders

Select items, lots or vendor cross-references by criteria, preview what each needs against on-hand and available stock, adjust the lines and create the purchase requisitions or purchase orders in one step. Each item's open requisitions, open purchase orders and receipts not yet committed sit on its own tabs.

Where it fits

From the dock door to the reorder, for warehouses.

  1. Inbound trucks booked and approved

    Receiving appointments are booked and requested times are approved or rejected from one list.

  2. Every receipt and shipment on one record

    Every receipt, shipment and adjustment is handled on one record, from planning through completion.

  3. Find stock by location and move it on record

    Stock is found by item, lot or location, with the free space in each location shown for the next inbound load.

  4. Warehouse hours on record, not on paper

    Each worker's activity and time are recorded against the work, so warehouse hours are on record instead of on paper.

  5. Count stock and review every variance

    The warehouse counts stock from selection through reviewed variances to count adjustments.

  6. This step

    Reorder from the stock you have

    Items are checked against on hand and available stock and turned into purchase requisitions or orders in one run.

  7. Report on stock, locations and activity

    Standard reports show what you hold, where it sits and what moved.
