Inventory Control reordering process

The Inventory Control application uses several programs to reorder items based on the item's replenishment strategy. Requisitions are created only for items that have a Reorder Document code of R (Requisition) in the Item Location record.

The Distribution Requirements Report (DR100) replenishes inventory items that use the Time Phased Ordering method and have a Reorder Document code of R (Requisition).

The Replenishment by Requisitions PO's (IC142) report replenishes inventory items that use a Fixed Order Point reordering method and have a Reorder Document code of R (Requisition). This report creates requisitions that are then converted into purchase orders. Items that use a Reorder Document code of P (Purchase Order) are replenished using Vendor Reorder Advice (IC140).

The Location Replenishment Report (IC141) replenishes inventory items that are stocked from another location, that use a Fixed Order Point replenishment strategy and have a Reorder Document code of R (Requisition).

It is required that you set up specific requesters named after each report so that the requisition source is traceable. For example, a requester named DR100WHNORTH can be set up for the Distribution Requirements Report and the Inventory Control location of WHNORTH.
