Summary

To run a report that shows items within the system that need to be order to either accommodate a sales order or for stock level recovery.

Additional Information

To run a reorder report you will need to go to: "Stock Control" -> "Reordering" -> "Reorder Report".

This will display a field search screen that lets you search for specific items of stock for reordering.

  • On the reorder report it is possible to list the sales history of each stock line month by month. At the "History:" enter the amount of month to be searched on or enter '0' for no History (this Option will speed up the report).
  • On the Reorder report at "Depot:" Enter the specific depot for the stock reorder report to run. As standard the depot will be 'Stock'.
  • On the Report It is possible to search solely on a particular supplier items. To do this enter the particular code on the "Supplier:"
  • It is possible to run the reorder report to only look for items of stock that are in a particular group. to do this on "Group:" enter the particular stock group, to run the report on. e.g. HEL (for helmets) WHE (Wheels)... or leave it blank for all stock groups.
  • It is also possible to run the reorder report on a specific item range or individual items. To do this enter the 'Stock code' of the 1st item for the report to run on in the "Stock From :". Then at the "To :" enter the last stock code. As Mentioned above top only search on a particular item of stock enter the 'Stock Code' both in "Stock From:" and "To:"
  • Finally the reorder report can round up the stock quantities to the nearest whole figure. This is useful if fractions of stock items are used. To do this set the "Round Up Quantities :" to 'Y'.

Once all choices for the report has been set <F2> to runt he report. This will send the report to the printer.
