add lines to PO's by Supplier Reorder number.

Dec 07, 2005 6 Replies

IN RMS, the Purchase Orders need to be able to search by the Supplier's Reorder numbers.



If you are looking through a vendor's catalog, and see something you want, the Vendor's reorder number is going to be what is listed. If you try to type in that number, the PO doesn't know what you want. But that is exactly why you go through the trouble of adding the Supplier and supplier's reorder number to an item's detail.



From the Purchase Order screen, my clients want to be able to enter the reorder number OR get to a screen that will show just the suppliers inventory list and be able to sort by reorder number on that screen to be able to grab the right item onto the PO.

Greg, I checked out your link. how does your product help me add an item to the Purchase Order when all I have easily on hand is the Supplier Reorder Number? ILC 1000, supplier Fabrikam SRN Fab1

Client is looking at their catalog, or a Promotional pricing list, and wants to simply add FAB1 to the PO. or to easily search (without 4-6 clicks) the items that are known to come from that supplier.

When you install AutoGen all current SRNs on file are added as Aliases. Enter Fab1 (the SRN) into the PO to order that item (no lookup required). If other items on the PO are missing SRNs or need them corrected, edit the SRN on the PO and it will be updated to the Supplier tab and Alias tables automatically. If you have never carried the item from the assigned supplier before, Supplier+SRN and Alias are added to Item Properties automatically so you can use the SRN next time. During new item adds the SRNs are automatically copied to Alias.

If you enable all the features in AutoGen the following actions can occur during a new item add.

1) Autogenerated ILC is created based on the format defined (sequential number or categorized code with dept, category, or supplier ID prefix + sequential number). 2) Any SRNs entered on the Supplier tab are automatically copied to Alias. 3) A default barcode format is assigned automatically (we suggest 128A or 128B). 4) If AutoGen is installed on an HQ database the sales tax for each store location is assigned automatically.

This is pretty boneheaded, isn't it?

This is handled several ways in our Matrix Master or RMS Toolkit for RMS. Supplier Reorder Number is automatically copied to Alias when SRN is entered in Item Properties or on a Purchase Order. The latest version of our Power Ops add-in lets you create/add to a PO by displaying items available from selected supplier, or only items at or below reorder level. You can then tag items, change order quantities, and add to or create a PO. Watch this two minute recording and you'll get the idea:

can also create new items and immediately add them to a PO. For more information on DRS add-ins contact your RMS reseller.
