Auto Reorder Process

 

The Auto Reorder Listing must be printed before purchase orders can be generated and updated.

After the Auto Reorder Listing is printed and if the register is correct, click Yes to update the register. Click OK when the Next Purchase Order Number window appears to automatically generate and update the purchase orders. A purchase order is created for each vendor with one or more items selected for reorder.

Warning Do not, under any circumstances, interrupt the update process.

During the update process, the following occurs:

  • The on-purchase-order information in Item Maintenance is updated.

  • Each purchase order created by the Auto Reorder Selection process is recorded in Purchase Order Entry.

  • The vendor's tax schedule and exemption numbers, if applicable, are defaulted during creation of the purchase order.

  • Line detail defaults the tax class, based on the inventory item.

  • Taxes are calculated, based on the tax schedule, exemption numbers, and tax classes entered on the lines.

  • If an invalid tax calculation occurs, the Recalc Tax button appears on the Purchase Order Entry window.
