Deficiency List

This report shows for each Item the stock balance, the quantity ordered and a proposed purchase quantity. The proposed purchase quantity takes into account the current stock level, the unfulfilled order quantity and the minimum stock level of the Item.

For an up to date Deficiency List, you should keep several registers up to date:

  • The Order register contains information about Sales Orders not yet shipped.

  • Each Item must be defined as "Stocked", and minimum stock levels must be specified.

  • The Goods Receipt register provides information about physical shipments into stock, and influences the stock balance.

  • The Delivery register also influences the stock balance.
The Deficiency List uses all the above information to present a purchase proposal for Stocked Items.
