Reordering and 'top off'

Oct 19, 2006 2 Replies

I would love to see the following option:



When I generate Purchase Orders automatically, I take a look at the quantity of product that is generated for the order and decide if I want to place an order or not. If I do decide to place an order, I would like to be able to have the Purchase Order also order everything else that is below the reorder level, but not at the reorder point. Since I'm already placing an order with the vendor, it just makes sense to "top off" everything. The only way I can think to do that now is to make my reorder point quantity one less than my reorder level. But when I do that, the system is going to almost always be in need. Ideally there would be a "Catch Up" or "Top Off" button on the Purchase Order view that would bring everything up to the reorder level, so I won't have to reorder again for a little while.


Hi Kris,

We have a purchasing add-on which supports "topping off" as you describe it. It also allows you to order and receive by the case without maintaining parent/child relationships.

Contact me if you are interested.

Ken,

You may want to consider adding your customization(s) to the Microsoft Solution Finder for RMS so that both resellers and end-users can find your add-on(s).
