The Update Stock Level Report allows you to view your current stock levels compared to what will be calculated based on the parameters entered without actually updating your files. Be sure that the Lead Time, Safety Stock and Order Frequency are setup for the Current Source before doing this report.
NOTE: When trying to adjust the Order Level and Stock Level to a lower or higher level, the only parameter you need to change is the Order Frequency in “Vendor Entry” (7.6.1 field 16). This assumes you have already setup Lead Time and Safety Stock.
Refer to the “Formula for Automatic Purchase Orders” in the Step-by-Step section.
The view screen function requires an AccuTerm© station or terminal capable of viewing 132 columns. Update fields 13, 14, and 16 in “Port Entry” in POINT OF SALE (1.10) to enable this function.
After the report is displayed to the screen you also have the option of entering a <D> to download the report to your local hard drive. When downloading the file, the path defaults to C:\TEMP but will use the setup in “Port Entry” (1.10 field 16) for the download path. This directory must exist on the PC executing the download. The Windows© file name will be the report name concatenated to the port number, then .TXT. For example: ORDER.RPT10.TXT, where 10 is the port number or ORDER.RPT10TAB.TXT for the TAB Delimited file name.
