What is a procurement rule?
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
Overview
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
The procurement inventory control system begins with a customer's order.
|
||||
With this strategy, companies only make enough product to fulfill
|
||||
customer's orders. One advantage to the system is that there will be no
|
||||
excess of inventory that needs to be stored, thus reducing inventory
|
||||
levels and the cost of carrying and storing goods. However, one major
|
||||
disadvantage to the pull system is that it is highly possible to run
|
||||
into ordering dilemmas, such as a supplier not being able to get a
|
||||
shipment out on time. This leaves the company unable to fulfill the
|
||||
order and contributes to customer dissatisfaction.
|
||||
|
||||
An example of a pull inventory control system is the make-to-order. The
|
||||
goal is to keep inventory levels to a minimum by only having enough
|
||||
inventory, not more or less, to meet customer demand. The MTO system
|
||||
eliminates waste by reducing the amount of storage space needed for
|
||||
inventory and the costs of storing goods.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
Procurement rules are part of the routes. Go to the Inventory
|
||||
application>Configuration>Settings and tick “Advance routing of products
|
||||
using rules”.

|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Here you can set the conditions of your rule. There are 3 types of
|
||||
action possibles :
|
||||
|
||||
- Move from another location rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Manufacturing rules that will trigger the creation of manufacturing
|
||||
orders.
|
||||
|
||||
- Buy rules that will trigger the creation of purchase orders.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
The Manufacturing application has to be installed in order to
|
||||
trigger manufacturing rules.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
The Purchase application has to be installed in order to trigger
|
||||
**buy** rules.

Try to create a procurement rule in our demo instance.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Some Warehouse Configuration creates routes with procurement
|
||||
rules already defined.
