If you go into Replenishment>Create Required Orders you will see all Suggested orders from the following sources:
- The Replenishment Routine (Both Single and Multi-Level MRP)
- Items, Descriptors, and Catalogue Items whose ‘Supply Method’ is ‘Source on Demand‘ and a demand was generated by the Sales, Assembly, or Job Order
This routine allows you to modify and/or approve the requirements before finally converting them into physical Orders. When converting to physical orders you have the option to:
- Select the lines to convert to Order(s)
- Combine Lines (segregated by Supplier) into a single Purchase Order if Purchased.
- Combine Lines into a single Assembly Order if Assembled.
On the screen you will see all the Required Orders that satisfy the selection criteria. If you scroll to the left you will the source of the demand. You can now:
- Select any line and - in the Detail tab - amend the Order quantity
- ‘Check’ the line(s) that are to be converted into Orders
- ‘Check’ the Radio Button to state whether you want a combined Order by Supplier or that each line will have a separate Order
- Click the ‘Generate Orders for selected Requirements’ button
