IC12 set-up

unknown

There has been quite a bit of discussion at our facilities about reorder points in the IC12 record.  Does someone have an easy to use guide on how to determine what the reorder point, reorder quantity, and maximum order should be?  The discussion usually centers around the question of how the item is ordered; buy UOM vs Stock UOM.  I always assumed Stock UOM.  Meaning, if we order a pack of swabs that contain 50 each and we issue by each, then our reorder points should be set to each.  Please let me know if this is correct.

Thanks much!

The way our IC12 locations are set is to order in the increment of the buy UOM.



Example: You buy ItemA by the box of 10 but you transact ItemA by the each and say you want to keep 2 boxes on hand. Your Max will be 20, your reorder will be 11. Your reorder point is always the difference of the max and the buy for ItemA plus one. When you have 11 on hand and you scan out one more then it will auto order a box of 10. The order multiple would be set to 10 because your stock/trans UOM is the lowest UOM and you order the item in increments of 10 eaches. I hope this helps.
