Introduction
This tool is used by Clients wanting their outlets to enter specific par stock and seeing suggested order quantities when ordering.
Assumptions
You have the permission set to use this
Where do I find this
From within the Outlet > StORM > Orders > Suggested Orders
Step by step guide
1. Users will need to enter outlet specific par stock quantities in the Outlet, StORM, Products page, adding a quantity in the Stock Level column, then clicking on Update Product. You can search for products using the search bar.
2. Once stock levels have been added users can use the Suggested Orders opition in the Orders page.
3. The suggested orders page will show the required stock level entered, the theoretical stock and the suggested order quantity. The theoretical stock when ordering option will need to be activated and is calculated using the last stocktake, purchases, epos sales linked to recipes, wastage and transfers since the last stocktake.
4. The suggested order quantity can be edited before being added to the basket.
The Suggested Orders option will need to be activated in the Orders page.
Alternative Method
An alternative solution enables you to see the suggested quantity when stocktaking.
You would still enter the required stock levels in the outlet as detailed above but will have an additional option to click Suggested Orders when stocktaking.
Having completed your stocktake you can compare the stock in hand with the par level and add the required quantity to your order. This uses the actual stock instead of the theoretical stock.
You can also use this tool to create an internal stock transfer request if you have Central Stores.
This option will need to be activated.
