Purchasing Module Process Help

[caramhall]

Hi there, 

I am working on getting our company to using the purchasing module effectively but I am having a hard time conceptualizing the process from start to finish. 

What triggers something as a "Replenishment"? How are those created? How is it different from a PO that is created from a job page?

An easy way for me to explain it to techs is that replenishments are basic truck stock items whereas a PO is an order specifically for a job/project!

If you have inventory templates set up for your warehouses and trucks with minimum and maximum levels then when they go below the designated level it falls into the replenishments sections. The actual PO isn't any different then one created on the job page, you are just ordering to replenish your stock not ordering specifically for a job.
