Purchase Entry Program Purchase Report overview
Function acronym: POERP
Use this report to forecast your inventory needs ahead of normal replenishment times and schedule delivery dates in advance of actual need. The purchase quantities are established from the historic demand over a specified period of time or from a specified date forward until the open to purchase target has been reached.
You can also use this report to base commitments to your vendor to secure a better price or discount and to ensure product availability. This report complements the automatic replenishment capabilities of the Purchase Entry Recommended Replenishment Action Report.
After the report is generated, it can be reviewed and edited in Purchase Demand Center Entry. After the buyer adjusts the forecast, it can be merged into a purchase order.
