Order Calculation Options.
Use this field in the Suggested Order Report window to specify how to calculate order points on the Suggested Order Report (RSO).
A = Use average cost instead of the default cost.
Note: The default cost for primary and secondary vendors is replacement cost. The default cost for manufacturers is manufacturer cost. If you assigned the same vendor code to the Prime Vend and Mfg Vend fields in Inventory Maintenance, the Stocking tab, the default cost is manufacturer cost.
If you want the replacement or manufacturer cost to print, do not use this option.
B = Use negative quantity on hand in the order calculation. Some items may show a negative quantity on hand because:
Someone sold the item before you properly received it into the system.
The last physical inventory count was inaccurate.
Usually the system treats a negative quantity on hand as though it's zero. If you want the system to increase the suggested order by the negative quantity on hand, use this option.
For example: An item's quantity on hand is -3, and its order point is 5. If you don't use this option, the system suggests an order of 5. If you use this option, the system suggests an order of 8.
C = Consolidate Multi-Store parts to Main Store. Use this option to consolidate multi-store suggested orders into a suggested order for a main store. The “main store” is the terminal's lockin store.
G = Don't use committed quantity in the order calculation. Some items may be committed for future delivery on orders or special orders created in POS. Usually the system subtracts the committed quantity from the quantity on hand.
For example: An item's quantity on hand is zero, its order point is 10, and its committed quantity is 12. If you don't use this option, the system suggests an order of 22. If you use this option, the system suggests an order of 10.
I = Use IMUV Vendor Information Fields. This option creates purchase orders using vendor information from the Vendor tab of Inventory Maintenance. If you use this option, enter the appropriate vendor in the Alternate/Sec. Vendor From and To fields. RSO will print VEND OM on the first heading line (in place of STD PK) and this information is from the Vendor Order Multiple field on the Vendor tab of Inventory Maintenance.
M = Use the manufacturer information. If you want the system to use the standard package, minimum # of standard packages, and manufacturer cost from Inventory Maintenance, use this option. If you use Printing Sequence 2, do not use this option.
Q = Don't use quantity on order in the order calculation. Some items may already be on order with this vendor or another vendor. Usually the system adds the quantity on order and any current future order amounts to the quantity on hand. If you use this option, the system ignores the quantity on order and suggests ordering more than usual.
T = Use the quantity in the To Date field in Inventory Maintenance, the History tab, as the suggested order. The system rounds the suggested order based on the order multiple or standard package.
V = Use the primary vendor information. If you want the system to use the order multiple and replacement cost from Inventory Maintenance, use this option. If you use Printing Sequence 3, do not use this option.
X = Calculate an order amount for items whose Quantity on Hand field is blank.
Y = Don’t use raincheck qty in order calculation. Use this option if you DON'T want raincheck quantities to override PO Season Codes.
R = Use Negative QOO in Order Calculation. This option allows you to use a negative QOO in the suggested order calculation (as long as you are not using Option Q “Do Not use QOO in order calculation”). For an example of how you would use this option, click Here.
