The Auto Re-Order function will display the product quantity tab first and highlight the columns that govern auto re-order, Available, ReOrder, Preferred Level & ReOrder amounts. The auto re-order process will create a Smart Order. From the Smart Order you have the ability to create a Purchase Order.

  • Then open up the product that you wish to manage Auto Re-Order for.
  • Select the Quantities Tab at the top of the screen.
  • Select the Department as you may wish to re-order different amounts for each department.

Set the Re-Order fields for:

  • ReOrder Point - at what number do you want the auto reorder to trigger from.
  • Preferred Level - at what level of quantities do you want to have the product stocked at.
  • ReOrder Amount - what numbers to you want to reorder at a time.
  • Select Save
