###################

|
|
The Stock Supply module add automatic supply mechanisms and introduce
|
|
the concepts of order point.
|
|
|
|
Order Point
|
|
***********
|
|
|
|
An order point define minimum, maximum and target quantities for a product on a
|
|
location.
|
|
|
|
* The minimum quantity is the threshold quantity below which the provisioning
|
|
process will be triggered.
|
|
|
|
* The maximum quantity is the threshold quantity above which the overflowing
|
|
process will be triggered.
|
|
|
|
* The target quantity is the quantity that will be found in the location after
|
|
the provisioning / overflowing process has been completed.
|
|
|
|
An order point also define a type which can be:
|
|
|
|
* Internal
|
|
|
|
An Internal order point is defined on a Storage location, it also defines a
|
|
provisioning and/or an overflowing location. If the minimum quantity is
|
|
reached it will result in the creation of an internal shipment between the
|
|
provisioning location and the Storage location. If the maximum quantity is
|
|
reached it will result in the creation of an internal shipment between the
|
|
storage location and the overflowing location.
|
|
|
|
* Purchase
|
|
|
|
A Purchase order point is defined on a warehouse location. If the
|
|
minimal quantity is reached on the warehouse it will result in a
|
|
purchase request.
|
|
|
|
The internal shipments and purchase requests are created by the supply wizard
|
|
with respect to stock levels and existing shipments and requests. The
|
|
stock levels are computed between the next two supply dates computed over the
|
|
Supply Period from the configuration (default: 1 day). If the stock level of a
|
|
product without order point on the given warehouse is below zero, a purchase
|
|
request is also created. The same happens if the stock level of a storage
|
|
location with a provisioning location is below zero. Likewise, if the stock
|
|
level of a storage is above zero and an overflow location is defined on the
|
|
location then an internal shipment will be created.
