Purpose

Create buying information for a buying ID.

Overview

Use Min-Max Buying Select to create buying information for a specific range of products (defined in Min-Max Buying Maintenance. After you select a buying ID, the supplier, location, and internal buyer criteria for that particular ID are displayed. When you click OK to create the buying information, this program will create buying records for all products that meet the buying ID criteria if the quantity available is less than the minimum stocking level at that location. To view the buying information, use Min-Max Buying Recommendations.

Note Unless Scheduling Assistant is used to perform processing at a later date, clicking OK will create buying information for that moment in time.

The buying selection program will suggest you buy an amount equal to the maximum stocking level minus the total of the quantity available and the quantity on order.

Note To buy products using this process, the product buying method must be Min-Max at the location level. If it is not, the product will not be included in this buying process.
