Recalculate Order Quantities

Use the Recalculate Order Quantities function to determine which items to reorder and in which quantities based on the order quantities information entered in the Inventory Items function on the Location tab as well as manufacturing/production information. Before you begin reorder processing, make sure you set up and verify forecast type IDs, assign forecast types to IN item locations, and set up the order quantity amounts for IN item locations. The Recalculate Order Quantities does not generate requisitions.
