Report: Investment Suggestion¶
Executive summary¶
This report is used to suggest speculative one-time orders according to a user-set limit. The system generates a suggestion that is saved and can be further edited.
Functional description¶
Access of individual users to the report is adjustable. For example, you can set user permissions so that individual branches can only view suggestions for their items and cannot generate their own suggestions.
If the user (branch) confirms suggested orders and exports them to the company’s primary information system, they are blocked from further modifications of this suggestion.
In each suggestion, it is possible to manually adjust the number of individual items and fix it - to prevent change during the next recalculation.
Dependence on the selected path (tree hierarchy)¶
The displayed report items do not correspond to (do not depend on) the selected tree structure on the left or in the path at the top.
Investment proposal report form:¶
The setting of filter combinations in the left part of the form (Suppliers, Branches) influences the display of all products in the right part of the form that meet the given conditions (Selected products).
The user then uses the |<| (adds selected) or |<<| (adds everything) buttons to select the products that will be included in the calculation of the optimal suggested orders list. Next, the user selects the Type of replenishment (described below), the Value, and decides what price (stock vs. purchase) will be used to calculate the report. If the user wants to include standard STOCK orders as of the relevant date in the calculation of the investment proposal of orders, he must select this date. Otherwise, orders to date remain included. Each investment proposal can be named arbitrarily.
Buttons:
- Save - saves only the current form settings, no calculation is performed.
- Generate - always discards all changes and generates a suggestion for what is selected in the form.
- Recalculate - preserves fixed values from the suggestion and completes it with unfixed items according to the form settings.
- Export to IS - if export is implemented, suggestion is exported to the customer’s ERP or another action is performed, depending on the implementation.
Type of completion: you can select according to which parameter the completion is determined. Possible variants are:
- holding period, weight, quantity, volume and pre-prepared pallets that need to be specifically adjusted.
