Read the reorder report

What each column tells you, and why an empty report is good news.

The reorder report lists everything that has fallen below its minimum, and tells you how much to buy.

Open the report

  1. In the top menu, click Purchases.

  2. Click Reorder Report.

What the columns mean

Column

Means

Available

what you can sell right now

Expected

what is already on its way from a vendor

Min / Max

the reorder points you set for this item

Order qty

how much to buy to get back to your maximum

Vendor

who to buy it from, and their price

Only items that need attention appear

An item shows up when it is below its minimum and there is not already enough on order to cover it. Everything healthy stays off the list.

That means an empty report is good news — nothing needs ordering.

The suggested quantity is editable

The Order qty is a suggestion, not a rule. Click it and type a different number if you know something the system does not — a promotion coming up, or a supplier minimum order.

Filters

The report is scoped to one warehouse at a time — check the Warehouse filter at the top matches the one you are buying for. You can also filter by Vendor to work through one supplier at a time, which is usually how you actually place orders.
