Purchase Requirements Report

This report displays every item from Items for which an order should be placed to prevent the on hand quantity from going below safety stock.

This report lists two things for each item: requirements and replenishments.

• Requirements: May be customer orders or Allocated To Prod. If the Plan Materials at Operation Start field is cleared, this form displays job material requirements based on the job's start date. If the Plan Materials at Operation Start field is selected, the operation's start date is used as the requirements date.
• Replenishments: May be purchase orders or work in process (the item being manufactured). The report can be selected to show requirements, replenishments, neither, or both.

There are different fields on the report depending upon whether a CO, a job, a WIP, or a PO is being displayed.

The primary and secondary vendors also display.

An item displays on the report if the sum of its quantities on hand, on order, and in process (On Hand, On Order, and Qty WIP fields) minus its quantities allocated to both orders and jobs (Alloc Job and Alloc Ord) is less than its safety stock quantity.
