Stock refill – Manufacturing

The procedure Stock refill – Manufacturing is used to calculate which parts should be manufactured based on the part's reorder point. By default only parts with the planning method Stock refill will be shown.

Normally, you check if the current balance plus registered orders, is less than the part's reorder point. In this procedure you then create manufacturing orders when you choose to generate manufacturing orders based on the suggestions created in the calculation.

The procedure uses different calculation formulas which are included as standard. You find these in the Planning formulas procedure. In that procedure you can also create your own formulas and then select them here prior to the calculation.

In the list in this procedure you can see different information. This is quite a lot of information from the part register and information about registered orders. Prior to generation it is possible to change quantity to manufacture and finish date.

The presentations determine how the selected list should be displayed/presented. For example if it should be presented as grouped or as total. There are some standard presentations included in the program.

In most procedures where you can load lists, it is possible to create your own presentations. This is done under Presentations in the backstage of the procedure in question. If you create your own presentation you can for example choose if it should have a drilldown function and a drilldown filterering.

You can select which columns the list should consist of, and for each of the columns you can configure grouping, sorting, aggregation, and if the column should be shown in chart form and if it should be printed. Additionally you can also make printout settings, chart settings, and settings regarding extra aggregation.
