Summary

This article explains how the 'show' filters, under the View menu in the Generate Inventory Order

Requests form, function.

Note: This article applies to version 4.2.277 and higher.

There are three ways to filter inventory items when selecting those items that you want to order. To

change the items that are shown, click the various 'show' menu options under the View menu.

The default view is to 'Show Items to Order'. This will filter the list of inventory items to show only

those items that the system has identified as needing to be ordered based on the reorder and

current inventory levels. This list can also be changed so that it shows all items, no matter what the

current inventory levels are. This can be useful when you need to create an Inventory Order Request

for items that the system indicates you have enough of.

Regardless of the whether you are showing all items or only those that need to be ordered, by

default the system will filter out those items that are already on order. If you need to generate an

Inventory Order Request for items that are already on order, check the 'Include Items on Order'

menu option. Creating multiple requests for the same inventory item is acceptable - each request will

be handled individually - they will not be combined.
