Using the ERP system in Purchase department

Posted on by 105

Hello everyone, 

Can anyone explain to be how to setup the ERP system in the purchase department to inform me when a product is low in stock and ready for restock?

I presently do this manually by going through the list of products one after the other which takes a lot of my time to go through the list.

    As Stefano and Saurabh have responded, the Item configuration and Req. Worksheet will satisfy the requirement. If you have a Manufacturing scenario, also use the "Planning Worksheet" to run either MRP or MPS. All these tools are very intuitive

    Good Luck!

    ERP provides a vast solution to many issues faced by companies. However, it is very important to identify the real objective of implementing ERP. The question is less about “should we implement” and but more about “what should ERP be implemented for”. The Key Performance Indicators (KPI) have to be analyzed in order to understand the necessity of software intervention. Also to order the capstone project writing you need to contact to edusson.com/buy-capstone-project This is a very fast and convenient educational online service. Key objectives are necessary; not only with respect to the present but also because future projections are included in the requisition list, which allows a business to factor in the scalability and accommodating changes in the future of the business/industry. So again, it is essential to identify the problem or the exact necessity motivating the ERP.

    Hello,

    As stefano suggested, Setup your item with the reordering polity as "Fixed Reorder Qty" and define Reorder point and Reorder Qty for the item.

    Run the Requisition worksheet by filtering the item with Reorder policy = "Fixed Reorder Qty". System will check the current stock position (including open PO) against the Reorder point defined and if it is lower than that, system will suggest to create PO with the Reorder Qty defined. after generation of the list, you can modify the ordering qty as per your need and can convert the lines to purchase order from there itself.

    above is for your information.

    You can use the Req. Worksheet for having a proposal of the item to restock or reorder accordingly to your needs.
