The Reorder view
Reorder lists every line whose on hand is at or under its point. Suggested is the reorder quantity less what is already on order. Where no reorder quantity is set it starts from the gap to the point. Export takes the list.
On the Lines view, Under reorder point filters to the same lines and each one is marked in the grid.
From a shortage to a purchase
With Source on, Build a shortage list takes every row to a request for quotes. Tick rows and it becomes Request quotes, beside Raise a purchase order. Without Source the view says so and offers neither.
The list is a view you open. Nothing is ordered on its own and nobody is notified when a line reaches its point.
