Task 8 Purchase order for restocking is a series of 5 sub-tasks used for reordering stock. They are designed to be used in numerical order starting with one, next two, next three, next four, to five. Sub-task 1 will use the Warehouse records to determine a need to order list. It will allow you to choose to let the computer automatically set the quantities or you may use sub-task 2 to manually scroll the list, setting the vendor # and the reorder quantities. You may print an edit list at any time using Sub-task 3. If you have the system automatically set the quantities, you could go directly to this Sub-task 4.

Sub-task 4 Print edit list by vendor with reorder quantities & value RSORPT:
This edit list is in vendor # order. This edit list includes the item #’s and item descriptions. It doesn’t have any warehouse or supplier information.
The vendors/suppliers selected in: sub-task 2 Modify reorder qty’s & vendor’s for reorder list RSOENT; are where the vendors and quantities come from on this edit list.
If the sub-task 2 Modify reorder qty’s & vendor’s for reorder list RSOENT, was skipped:
- The vendors on this edit list are the lowest rank.
- The quantities on this edit list are blank.
This edit list may be used to go into Task 1 Purchase order entry & editing to manually open new purchase orders for each vendor.
If you continue on to Sub-task 5 Generate & release reorder PO’s GENPOR, the vendor’s and quantities on this edit list will be used to automatically open P/O’s.
