Store Manager can create a purchase order for you, containing items whose current on-hand amount is below the minimum acceptable on-hand amount. Store Manager only includes items in the suggested order that you have not already placed on another order.
After you create a purchase order from a suggested order, you can modify and issue it. For information about modifying a purchase order, see Modifying a Purchase Order. For information about issuing a purchase order, see Issuing a Purchase Order.
