This program is a batch program that will calculate the re-order point for all items that have the Order point field set to YES in the Item file. Note: The re-order point will only be calculated for items with Item class set to 1 in the Item file, Inventory information panel.
The re-order point is calculated by the following formula:
Forecast * Planning time / No of workdays (defined in the DIS control file) |
When running the Purchase suggestion routine, all items that are not under time axis control will be suggested for purchase with its EOQ (economical order quantity) only if:
in stock + purchase orders – reservations – security stock is less than the ROP (re-order point). |
If the difference between At disposal and ROP is greater than the EOQ, the difference is suggested for purchase.
