Once you know what you are short of, the report can raise the orders for you. Tick the items you want, and Brahmin Solutions works out who supplies each one and builds a separate order for every vendor — so you place one order with each supplier instead of picking through the list by hand.
Create the orders
Open the reorder report.
Tick the items you want to order.
Check the Order qty on each row. These are suggestions based on your minimum and maximum, and
you can type over any of them.Click Generate PO.
The Review purchase orders panel opens, showing exactly what is about to be created.
Click Create PO.
Give the review panel a proper look
This is your last chance to catch something before the orders exist, and there is one thing worth checking every time: does every line have a price?
An item comes through at 0.00 when its vendor has no price set up. It is easy to miss, and it matters more than it looks — stock received at zero cost pulls that item's average cost down, and every margin figure that uses it afterwards is wrong.
If you spot a zero, set the vendor's price and generate again. See Link a product to a vendor.
What you get
One draft order per vendor, with your items already on it.
They are drafts, so nothing is on order yet. Open each one, check it reads the way you want, and confirm it when you are happy. See Confirm a purchase order.
How to know it worked
The orders are built in the background, so give the Purchases list a moment and refresh. Your new orders are there with a Draft badge — one per vendor, holding the items you ticked.
