_____________________________________________________________________________________

Status

The current order status.

Order (Order Type)

Number (Order Number)

An auto-generated unique sequential number is assigned to each order. All Order Types which exist under the Order Module will receive their number for the following configuration:

POSEQ - (Orders Next Sequence Number) - Next number for an Order. The start number is set at implementation. The Config Number field is used.
Note: The Order Number, when selected, will link the user to the Query view of the Order Header window.

Line

The specific Line item of the Order. Each Line item could represent a different part included in the same order.

Ship Location

The location where the transaction will be shipped to. All locations are defined in the Location Master. All Ship Locations must be identified as an Inventory Location in the Location Master, if a physical part or item is to be received. If the Location is not identified in Inventory a warning will be received upon entry and the user will not be able to save the order header.

Priority

Reorder Level

This section features the Part Number reorder level.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

P/N

The Part Number reference for the aircraft part.

Location

The Location for maintenance events, inventory stores, orders, transactions, or training events.

Maximum

The maximum in stock quantity allowed.

Minimum

The minimum in stock quantity required (Safety Stock). The minimum stock level can be used to report on items that require urgent action.

Reorder Level

The Re-Order point for the Part. The Re-Order point is established so that the system can automatically create Requisitions for parts that have reached a certain stock quantity level. (Requisitions are triggered based on whole numbers only.) Purchasing actions can then be considered. Please refer to the Inventory manual (section “P/N Re-Order Level”) for additional related information. The Re-Order Level button is used to reset the Re-Order Level based on past usage (the system automatically calculates this figure). This field triggers a Re-Order Level Requisition. Once the available parts in inventory are less than the (whole number) value specified in the Re-Order Level field, a requisition will automatically be created. If the Reorder Level quantity is less than the Order Minimum Quantity, then the Requisition that is triggered will be for the Order Minimum quantity instead of the Reorder Level quantity. For more information refer to the Order Minimum field.

EOQ

The “Economic Order Quantity” field is used to store a value that is calculated outside of the system. The value is usually calculated by materials managers and used to determine the quantity that is the optimum (lowest) total variable cost (unit costs that depend on volume) required to Order and hold inventory.
