How do I generate purchase orders from the Reorder page?

You will have draft purchase orders for the items that are running low.

Before you start

Items need a Default Supplier, a Reorder Point and a Reorder Qty. Generating needs the purchase-order permission and plan.

Steps

1. Open Inventory → Reorder. Each card is a supplier, with its items at or below their reorder point.
2. Tick the rows you want, or press Select all (it picks rows that have a supplier).
3. Press Generate Draft POs.
4. Read the Last Run panel, then open Purchase Orders to review, edit and send the drafts.

What you will see

For each supplier and warehouse, a draft PO with the item at its Reorder Qty and current Cost. If a draft already exists for that pair, the item is added to it.

If something goes wrong

• Rows under "— No default supplier —" cannot be ticked. Set a Default Supplier on the item.
• Pressing Generate twice for the same row increases the quantity by another Reorder Qty.
• Open sent orders are not counted, so an item may be suggested while an order is on its way.
• A Reorder Qty of 0 produces a quantity of 1.
• For fully automatic drafts, switch on reorder automation in Settings and tick Auto on the item.
