Re-order list

Each inventory item card under Inventory/Items, gives the user the option of setting up maximum and minimum inventory levels for each item.  The purchase quantity can also be set to round up to the nearest purchasable quantity here.

The re-order list is then a list created automatically to suggest the current purchases required, based on the stock levels. To create a re-order list, use the navigation panel to go to Inventory/Reports/Re-order list. 

(Click on the screenshot to enlarge).

The re-order list is “calculated” on an ongoing basis and alerts the user when items need to be re-ordered. It takes into account any items included in current purchase orders as well as those reserved for sale.

The re-order list can easily be edited, for example lines can be deleted and quantities changed.

A purchase suggestion/purchase order can then be created for each supplier.

The purchase orders look up the pricing agreements with the suppliers registered in Uniconta and automatically add the agreed prices to the purchase order. These re-orders can be made right down to the individual variants required.
