Stock refill – Purchase

The procedure Stock refill – Purchase is used to calculate which parts should be purchased 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 purchase orders when you choose to generate purchase orders based on the suggestions created in the calculation. Stock orders are also created in this list regardless if the part is manufactured or purchased.

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 you can see information from the linked supplier as well as information from the part register and registered orders. Prior to generation it is possible to change the supplier, price, posting, quantity to order, and delivery date.

If distributed purchase per order is applied for the part, the suggestions for the suppliers are strictly created according to the settings in the part’s distribution and will go from top to bottom among the suppliers. Click the Distribute purchase button under the Purchase tab in the Part register procedure, to access where you configure distributed purchase for a part.

If the part has distributed purchase between different suppliers, this distribution will be used when the suggestions are created.

Select by the part template called Consumable tool if you want to calculate stock refill for consumable parts.
