Purchase Order based on Re-Order Level not working

Restock Level is not the number to buy, it is the quantity you want your inventory to be AFTER the purchase. If you have Reorder Point = 1 and Restock Level = 1, the system does not need to order the item to get to it's restock level. When the quantity on hand drops to zero, the item should be added for a quantity of one.

If you want to order 1 unit when the on hand reaches 1, set the restock level to 2...

Glenn, what if I want the POS to generate a PO for 1 item when my stock is 0. In other words, if the last item just got sold and I want to generate a PO then I would like the system to print out an order for 1 item to have just 1 in stock. What should I do then?

Glenn, by the way, I tried your suggestion and it still did not generate any POs. In fact I tried even putting restock level to 5 and increased and played with different numbers and still nothing happens... Could this be some kind of setting or is this a software error?

Glenn.... I figured out why my PO was not working. It's because none of my thousands of items had their "supplier" chosen. Once I played around and added a supplier to some of my items, the PO was working fine.

As a foollowup question, is there any quick way of adding in the supplier information into groups of items that are offered by this supplier? I just don't want to go through every individual item to click on them and set the supplier...that would take forever.

Thanks for your help.
