Generating Order Data for All Inventory Products - Located beneath the Purchase Orders on the tree view menu is the Suggested Order Analysis feature. In this section, the Product List window will display the most current generated data, listing all products that need ordering by default with the option to filter the list by Specific Supplier.

On selecting a product, the Suggested Order Results are defined at the bottom of the page. Each result utilizes the product reorder settings, the current quantity onhand, and the suppliers order settings to calculate the suggested order amount, making sure to take into account any that may already be on another purchase order.

To generate new order data in the Suggested Order Analysis, click the last icon in the toolbar to Run the Order Analysis. This is going to refresh all inventory products, which for larger inventories can take several minutes. Once completed, this order data is available for using to create a purchase order or use for Cross Supplier ordering.

Generating Order Data by Supplier - Within the Suppliers section on the tree view, navigate to the Supplier List View. Use the right mouse button in the List View window or click the Task dropdown in the lower work bar to pull up the Task menu. In this list is an option to Refresh Replenishment Needs. Clicking this will bring up a status bar showing the progress in generating the order data for the selected supplier. Once completed, this order data is available for using to create a purchase order or use for Cross Supplier ordering.
