Reorder items process

You can use a just-in-time replenishment model to reduce inventory levels and the associated carrying costs. When you are using a just-in-time system for maintenance, you base your purchasing and stock levels on upcoming work, rather than on past usage.

Because parts and assets can become obsolete and the reorder process of your company can change, looking back might not be as useful as looking forward when considering your inventory needs. You can use just-in-time inventory systems to set reorder quantities. Using the Preventive Maintenance (Nuc) application to plan upcoming maintenance and inspection work can also help to determine what items you will need in the future.

Settings that are specified in the Organizations application determine whether the reorder process creates an approved or unapproved purchase requisition or purchase order for the items being ordered. Different settings exist for internal and external purchase requisitions and purchase orders.

Items that have a vendor qualification type of Quality are excluded from the reorder process.

When you run the reorder process, any technical terms for the non-quality items are added to the PR record or PO record.
