The Generate Automatic Purchase Order for Vendor program may be used to Generate a PO by Sales History. If chosen, the Sales History will be used instead of Order Level, Stock Level and Quantity on Hand for calculating Quantity to Order. The Order Level and Stock Level must be set (example:  OL = 0, SL = 1) and the system will order the Quantity Sold. If not chosen, the following prompts will be skipped.

Use Quantity Available:  Enter <Y> to Use Quantity Available when calculating Quantity to Order. QTO = Qty Sold - QOH - QOO (unless ignored) + Qty Back Ordered at POS. Enter <N> to skip. This option will use the specified location or region entered below this prompt rather than the PO location entered at the top of the screen.

Round Parts to Standard Pack:  Enter <Y> to round Parts down to the Standard Pack if the Parts do not round up based on Percent Standard Pack setup in “Purchase Order Setup” (3.5.2). Enter <P> to round Parts and create a second Purchase Order with the rounded off quantity the Parts that were rounded down. Enter <N> to skip and function normally (round up based on Percent Standard Pack).

Beginning & Ending Invoice Date

Sales Location or Region

The orders must be finalized but do not have to be posted. Once selected the program will accumulate the Sales Quantity based on Quantity Shipped. This Sales Quantity will become the Quantity to Order. If the Quantity is less than or equal to zero the part will be skipped. PO Entry and the Long PO Print program will accumalate sales history and quantities based on the Sales History location or region entered above. The display fields that will be accumulated in the PO Entry are QOH, QOO, QBO, QHD, MTD Sales, 1 Mos Ago, 2 Mos Ago, 3 Mos Ago and YTD Sales. Similarly, the Long PO fields have been accumulated also.
