To determine which parts to reorder, FASuite applies the reorder list rules. FASuite can generate purchase orders automatically only if the Automatic numbering of purchase orders field on the Purchase Orders tab of the Data -> Purchasing -> Setup -> Options screen specifies an automatic numbering method other than NONE.

If the field specifies an automatic numbering scheme, FASuite uses information on the Data -> Purchasing -> Reordering screen to determine which parts to reorder and their quantity. It then uses the purchase order rules to combine the parts to reorder into complete purchase orders.

The unit price for the part depends on whether there is a contract with the vendor to supply the part for a specific price. You can change the displayed value.

• Contract: FASuite uses the unit price specified for the part on the Data -> Purchasing -> Vendor Contracts -> Parts Prices screen, if any. (You must specify the vendor ID.)

• No contract: FASuite uses the current order unit price listed on the Basic Info tab of the Data -> Purchasing -> Vendor/Part Information screen, if specified and earlier than the expiration date indicated. (You must specify the vendor ID.)
  
  If a price is not specified, FASuite uses the last purchase order price, dependent on the value in the Manage parts ordering and Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) values field on the General tab of the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Options screen:

• CENTRALLY – Last purchase order unit price listed on the Purchasing Info tab on the Data -> Parts Items -> Primary Information screen

• BY LOCATION – Last purchase order unit price listed on the Purchasing Info tab on the Data -> Parts Items -> Location Information screen
