Step E: Recalculate Supplier Line With Updated Information

Description:  How to Recalculate a Supplier Order With Updated Information In order to understand the recalculation process, you must know when a recalculation automatically occurs and when you must manually perform a recalculation. This step will show you how to recalculate a supplier’s order so that the most up-to-date information is being displayed and used for the suggested order. The system automatically recalculates a supplier’s information every night. This means that each morning when you sign-on to the system you are seeing a fresh suggested order that was built from the most recent K3S night job information. During the day if you make any adjustments to a supplier’s order build components OR to a product’s order build components, you will need to perform a recalculation step to generate an up-to-date suggested order if you want to place a purchase order today. 1. Starting from the Suggested Order Detail screen shown below, click on the Recalculate button. 2. This will cause a window to pop up like the one pictured below. Keep the default values that appear in the window and click on the Recalculate Order button. 3. After Recalculating the order, you will get a completion message at the bottom of the Suggested Order Detail screen. This completion message will read ‘Order has been recalculated'.  See example below: 4. Now that you have done a recalculation, the system has generated a new suggested order for this supplier using the most up-to-date information for all order build components.
