Go to: Main menu > Stock module > Stock menu > Stock Ordering > Stock Reorder.
From the Stock Reorder Options window:
To display the previous sales figures, in the Show Previous Sales and To fields, type the date range for which you wish to view the previous sales.
To view the previous sales for a selected Supplier, Sales Group, Analysis Group, Department or Clinic, select the corresponding check field and double-click to select a record from the list.
Select Maximum Reorder Qty or Standard Reorder Qty.
Standard Reorder Qty is the default value as the majority of clients process automatic stock reorders using a standard reorder quantity.
The Maximum Reorder Qty is calculated as the difference between the Stock Onhand amount and the Reorder Level plus the Reorder Quantity.
You might choose this option, for example, if you have had a busy week and haven't had a chance to order.
Optional: To include stock items with no reorder quantity in the order, select the Include stock with no reorder quantity check box.
You can also order stock based on previous sales of a specified percentage.
When you select Ignore Reorder Qty and Levels, VisionVPM calculates the stock reorder quantities based on the previous sales, for the selected date range, less the current quantity on hand.
You also have the option to enter a percentage. The default is 80%.
In the example below, VisionVPM will calculate the reorder quantities as 80% of the total sales amount between 1 June 2009 and 31 October 2009 less the current quantity on hand amount.
In the Order Details field, type any notes you wish to communicate to the supplier.
In the Order Number field, type an order number, or leave empty if you want VisionVPM to automatically create an order number.
If you are using e-Order and the stock item you are entering has Provet as its Preferred Supplier, you can only enter a numerical order number. If you enter a letter as part of the order number, VisionVPM will display the following message:
Click OK, and then you will have to remove the letters from the field in order to continue processing the stock order.
In the User field, type the code of the user who is reordering the stock.
Click OK.
The Reorder List window will display the selected stock items.
Stock Codes which have a Provet product code will be flagged as Provet e-Order products.
Stock Codes which have a SVS product code will be flagged as SVS products.
