Zone Storeroom Ordering

Do you currently have multiple buyers responsible for inventory orders? We have one Inventory Manager that places orders under her buyer code. If you have multiple buyers on inventory orders any pricing or receipt discrepancies will be directed to them if you don't change the buyer on the POs shortly after they're created. But I think your solution would work to zone your inventory orders. I was thinking that PO100 had an item attribute filter that would be useful for this situation but it doesn't.

If you don't use the day of the week ordering you can use it to flag which items go with which zone and change the RQ01 to one req to one po. The reorders for "Sunday" order all the items in the back zone, "Monday" is the pyxis station, etc. Spoke to soon - that's a custom job based on attributes.Sorry. I've been "me too"ing every enhancement request that wants to add bins or attributes to the IC140/IC142

That just gave me an idea Kat. Jeff, you could assign an inventory class for each zone and then create an IC140 job for each class/zone. Run the IC140 job for the first class/zone and then run PO100 immediately after, then run IC140 for the next class/zone, then PO100 and so on. You could create a multi-step job IC140 Zone 1 PO100 Zone 1 IC140 Zone 2 PO100 Zone 2 IC140 Zone 3 PO100 Zone 3

You might be able to run one IC140 job and then run PO100 by Purchasing Class (items in your warehouse being assigned different purchase classes by zone). It's the same concept that Jon had except you use Purchasing Class instead of Inventory Class and only have to run one IC140.
