Consumables re-order management is used to create minimum (reorder level) and maximum (max stock) order definitions for bulk material (this is, commodity codes with item rule SOT (Standard withOut Tag)). The minimum quantity specifies the reorder level, i.e., when the on hand quantity (including on order quantity) falls below this minimum quantity, an order must be submitted. The maximum quantity specifies the maximum stock quantity of that ident.

Commodity Part

On-Hand Quantity

Ordered Quantity

The value in the Ordered Quantity field is calculated using one of the following formulas.

If Max Quantity is not null (filled): Ordered Quantity = Max Quantity – (On-Hand Quantity + Ordered Quantity).

If Max Quantity is null (empty): Ordered Quantity = Min Quantity – (On-Hand Quantity + Ordered Quantity ).

Total Quantity

Unit

Displays the unit code. Displays the unit code.

Supplier

Blanket Order

Displays the blanket order selected in the Consumables Re-Order Management page, if the selected ident code exists in the blanket order.

When you create a new purchase order, the supplier and the currency are copied from the blanket order of the selected minimum and maximum order definition. An agreement is created as a Blanket Order Release, having line items with the selected idents and their to order quantity. The price information corresponding to the ident codes is copied from the blanket order.

The attachments (properties, text and terms, VDRs and documents) of the blanket order and corresponding lines will also be copied to the newly created blanket order release and corresponding lines (if matching with the blanket order lines).

If the assigned blanket order is not approved, it cannot be used to create a blanket order release.

If no blanket order is assigned to the minimum and maximum order definition:

  • The quantity unit of the order line item is calculated by the CIP function m_pck_req_custom.qty_unit.

  • The weight unit of the order line item is calculated by the CIP function m_pck_req_custom.weight_unit. Or, if the function returns a negative value, the unit assigned to project default ZX_WEIGHT is used.

  • The currency is copied from the ZX_CURCY project default value.

  • The unit price is not filled.
