What are reorder parts, and how can they be used?ed?

Part reorder list can be used to automatically generate Purchase Orders based on hand part quantity levels that are defined.

Part orders can be generated when the quantities on hand and reorder levels are accurately defined. The Show Reorder List section of Antero conveniently displays all stock records for parts that need to be reordered, based on the current quantities available.

Several key data points determine whether a part appears in the Show Reorder Parts list:

  • Part Stock Quantity on Hand: This indicates the current number of parts available in inventory.
  • Part Stock Minimum Quantity: The quantity on hand is assessed against the Minimum Quantity threshold; if the current stock falls below this minimum, the part will be included in the Reorder List.
  • Part Stock Maximum Quantity: This figure is used to compare with the quantity on hand to establish how much should be ordered, ensuring optimal stock levels.
  • Units: This specifies the measurement units in which the parts will be ordered.
  • Conversion Factor: This value is used to convert stock units into bulk units. For example, one case may equal twelve individual units.

You can access the Show Reorder Parts list from the toolbar in the Ordering section or through the Tools menu.

 

Part Orders can be created directly from the Reorder Parts list, which presents the parts in an organized grid format. To enhance usability, the option to group by primary vendor allows you to view parts from the same supplier together, simplifying the ordering process. Additionally, the quantity to order, initially populated based on current stock levels, can be adjusted as needed.

 

  • To create a new Parts order from the Show Reorder Parts list, begin by selecting the desired records by checking the corresponding boxes (you can choose either a single record or multiple records). Once you have made your selections, click the designated button to initiate the order creation process.
  • A Create Orders window will appear, displaying the parts you have selected. From this window, select the Supplier from whom you will be ordering the parts, and specify the order date. Once you have made your selections, click the button to generate the Purchase Orders. The Ordering section will then open, highlighting the newly created Part Order in the grid.
