About Reorder Report


The Reorder Report page enables you to view the availability of all of your products along with their associated Supplier - and with the relevant stock level information. This report is ideal to see if your stock is running low and you need to replenish new stock.

You can select products at line level and use the Reorder button to create a purchase order for those stock items with low quantities. You can still add extra lines or remove lines to the created purchase orders, where necessary.

Additionally, you can:

  • Review products on purchase (which are Parked, Placed, Costed Purchase Order) and their next delivery date.
  • Drill down into the product transactional details by status of Quantity on Hand, On Order, In Assembly, On Transfer or On Purchase.

You can filter the report by Product, Suppliers or Product Group. The grid displays your current minimum or maximum stock levels as well as the suggested quantities to order.

If no minimum or maximum levels are set, then this report is useful to display products which are overstocked instead.


You can access the Reorder Report via the Reports | Purchases | Reorder Report.

 

The value of the Reorder Report

The Reorder Report is one of the most powerful reports in Unleashed; it shows every product and its current quantity on hand and whether there are any on order, on assembly, on transfer or on purchase. The available amount is calculated from these quantities and a reorder amount is then suggested. The report also has low and high stock alerts that can be set if required.
