Additional Info |
The Additional Info tab for reordering displays additional information about parts that are due to be reordered based on current stock levels and rates of usage.
Tip: You can use the filter to control which part IDs display on the screen for reorder. If you manage parts and inventory BY LOCATION, you must specify the location ID in the filter.
How you manage parts and inventory (either BY LOCATION or CENTRALLY) determines which parts display on the reorder list. If you manage parts BY LOCATION, location level access is in effect. Refer to the reorder list rules and generating reorders. (Parts and inventory management is specified by the Manage parts ordering and Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) field on the General tab of the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Options screen.)
The field in the top section of this tab defines the data that displays.
Reorder run ID

You can specify that each vendor's purchase orders be separated by product category. The Manage parts ordering and Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) values field on the General tab of the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Options screen determines which screen to use in order to do this.
