Acquire 1.40.0

Suggested Ordering (Order To Par) - ACQ-730

Acquire now features the ability to define stock par levels for each product and view an associated suggested order in the basket page.

Suggested Ordering Page

The Minimum Stock Levels page has been repurposed into the area for configuring and controlling Suggested Ordering.

Company users can now upload par levels via .csv file within a single page, to set the par level stock requirements for each product.

Note: "Suggested Ordering" and "Par Levels" both need to be enabled as a Zonal Admin user in Organisations -> Edit Company in order to use Suggested Ordering.

Uploading Par Levels

Par level – the quantity of stock a site is required to maintain at a given moment in time to meet predicted usage - can be set via .csv file upload on the Suggested Ordering page.

The par level relates to the stock unit of an individual product, in contrast to the pack size it is ordered in. For example, a supplier may sell a product in crates of 24 bottles (e.g. a pack size of: 1 x 24 Bottles), but the site may need to maintain stock in individual bottles. A Suggested Order will be calculated based on the number of packs required to bring the Stock On Hand up to the required Par Level.

In order to set par level, the search page can be filtered to show products and their currently assigned par levels. Clicking download generates a .csv file, into which should be entered the number of underlying stock unit quantities associated with that product.

When the .csv file upload is in progress, the current status of that upload will be displayed within the Suggested Ordering page. By clicking on the banner, it is possible to move between any filtered search results on the page and any uploads in progress.

Show Suggested Order In Basket

Once the par level has been set for a product, Acquire will be able to generate a Suggested Order.

When adding items to the basket, additional columns have been added for Par Level and Suggested Order. The latter contains the calculated pack size quantities required to bring the current stock level up to par. The Stock On Hand and Stock On Order are both taken into consideration when calculating a suggested order.

Finance Export Includes Department Code - ACQ-723

When users generate the Finance Report, two additional columns have been added to the .csv file to display the department name and department code.

If departments have not been enabled for a company, then these columns will not be displayed
