Purchase Entry VMI Initial Product Data Load Report overview

Purchase > Entry > POE Reports > POEVI

Function acronym: POEVI

Use this report to collect historical data on products. The data is sent to the specified vendor at the start of a Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) program to forecast product usage.

Before you run the report, review all products that are replenished by the VMI vendor. In Product Warehouse Product Setup, products must be set up with an ARP type of VMI. When you run the report, a data file is created for all products with an ARP type of VMI, based on the ranges and options. Leave the report ranges blank to include all products that are managed by the vendor.

You can specify one of four standard formats in which the data file is created. Form 4 is only available for BOD output.

If you generate flat file output for this report, the data can be written to a file or a tape.
