Minimum Stock Rules in OpenERP

Minimum Stock Rules in OpenERP

         To automatically make stock replenishment proposals, you can use minimum stock rules. To do this, use the menu Warehouse ‣ Configuration ‣ Automatic Procurements ‣ Minimum Stock Rules.
         
        

      The rule is the following:
                If the virtual stock for the given location is lower than the minimum stock indicated in the rule, the system will automatically propose a procurement to increase the level of virtual stock to the maximum level given in the rule.

              List of Minimum Stock Rules
          

 Take the following example:

• Products in stock: 15
• Products ordered but not delivered: 5
• Products in manufacturing: 2

The rules defined are:

• Minimum Quantity: 13
• Maximum Quantity: 25
• Quantity Multiple: 3

          You can also set multiple quantities in the minimum stock rules. If you set a multiple quantity of 3 the system will propose procurement of 15 pieces, and not the 13 it really needs. In this case, it automatically rounds the quantity upwards.
      In a minimum stock rule, when you indicate a warehouse, it suggests a stock location by default in that warehouse. You can change that location by default when the scheduler completes, by location and not by warehouse.
