Manual Add for Reorder Batch

In certain situations, the organization knows a particular item needs to be ordered and wants to bypass selecting criteria for a reorder and having the system build the results for the batch. To support this case, the option to manually add a reorder has been included.

Once the General tab on the Inventory Reorder Batch page has been completed, click the Manual Add button to launch the Inventory Reorder Transaction Maintenance page. This bypasses building the results and the Transaction List pages.

Since the system did not build the results, the Inventory Reorder Transaction Maintenance page is blank.

  1. Select the Item to add to the batch. This field is required. The item can be selected in the field or with the item prompt; if it is typed in, the entry will subset the list of available items so the correct one can be chosen.
  2. Select the Vendor from whom this item should be ordered. The vendor can be selected in the field or entered by typing the name; if it is typed in, the entry will subset the list of available vendors so the correct one can be chosen.
  3. Enter a Description of the item, if desired. This field provides room to enter details beyond those in the Item control. Description can contain up to 64 characters.
  4. Enter the Vendor Part Number, if known. This is the number by which the vendor identifies the item being ordered. It may contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
  5. Enter the Quantity of the item that should be purchased or requested. This control is required; the acceptable range is 0.0001 through 9,999,999.9999.
  6. The Unit of Measure control is populated with the correct options based on the item selected. This value is required.
  7. Enter the Price per Unit. The system will calculate the total cost based on the quantity ordered. This control is required; the acceptable range is $0.0001 through $9,999,999.9999. Zero is an acceptable value.
  8. Enter or select the G/L Account. This field is required. The G/L account can be selected in the field or with the G/L account prompt; if it is typed in, the entry will subset the list of available G/L accounts so the correct one can be chosen.
  9. Click Save if only one entry needs to be made; click Save/New if you have additional entries.

The rest of the processing follows the same steps as a standard batch.
