These screens have been updated to support Pre-Order records. The system can adjust the required quantity prior to adjusting based on Supplier packaging. The logic will work as follows:
-
For each Product that qualifies, work out the required quantity based on either Min/Max or History.
-
Reduce the required quantity by all Pre-Order records for the same Product and Stock Area, but for a different Supplier (because we expect these to be supplier by that supplier later).
-
Work out the total quantity of all Pre-Order records for the same Product, Stock Area and Supplier. If this is greater than the current required quantity, set the required quantity to this value.
-
Adjust required quantity based on Supplier packaging.
Additional key points for these processes:
-
The system can also add required products that did not qualify. For each Supplier in the batch, it will search for Pre-Order records for the same Supplier and Stock Area, for Products that is currently not in the batch. If they exists, the will be included.
-
When looking for Pre-Order records, the system will only find records for incomplete Invoices that are not being modified or waiting for authorisation.
-
After loading into ‘Order Entry by Product’, if the user voids the unprocessed batch, the system will warn the user if Pre-Order records were used for this batch. The Pre-Order records have already been used and will not become available again if the user voids it.
