Part Orders |
The Part Orders screen enables you to view and automatically generate purchase orders for parts to replenish stock. Each insert of a part order from this screen may include any number of parts from any number of vendors. When you process the insert, separate purchase orders are automatically created for each vendor (subject to some limitations). You can record the parts you want to order throughout the day and process the insert at the end of the day.
To use this screen, the Automatic numbering of purchase orders field on the Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing - Setup - Options screen must specify a value other than NONE.
When purchase orders are generated for parts displayed on this screen, the price of the part per unit is dependent on whether there is a contract with a vendor to supply the part:
Contract: Unit price for the part ID/suffix (from the Data -> Purchasing -> Vendor Contracts -> Parts Prices screen, if specified).
No contract: Current order unit price from the Basic Info tab of the Data -> Purchasing -> Vendor/Part Information screen, if specified. If not specified, the last order price is used, 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: From the Purchasing Info tab on the Parts - Primary Information screen.
BY LOCATION: From the Purchasing Info tab on the Parts - Location Information screen.
You can specify that each vendor's purchase orders be separated by product category. Product categories are defined on the Parts Items - Setup - Product Categories screen; parts are assigned to categories on the Basic Info tab of the Parts Items -Primary Information screen.
The Manage parts ordering and Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) values field on the General tab of the Parts - Setup - Options screen determines which screen to use in order to separate each vendor's purchase orders by product category:
CENTRALLY: Use the Purchase Orders tab of the Purchasing - Setup - Options screen.
BY LOCATION: Use the Inventory tab of the Setup -> Organization Structure -> Locations -> Primary Information screen.
You can use the filter to refine the information you want to display. See location level access.
